Hyperactive children exhibit lower self-perception across most areas compared to peers, except for athletic competence. Scholastic competence, social acceptance, and behavioral conduct are key challenges for these children.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychiatry

Background:

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) significantly impacts children's development.
  • Self-perception is a crucial factor in a child's overall well-being and functioning.
  • Understanding self-perception differences in hyperactive children is vital for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare self-perception between hyperactive children and a control group of same-aged peers.
  • To identify specific dimensions of self-perception that differ between these groups.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study involving 116 children aged 6-11 years (57 hyperactive, 59 controls).
  • Data collected via the Self-Perception Profile for Children questionnaire.

  • Statistical analyses included univariate and multivariate comparisons between groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Hyperactive children reported lower self-perception in most dimensions compared to controls.
    • Athletic competence was the only dimension where hyperactive children reported higher self-perception.
    • Scholastic competence, social acceptance, and behavioral conduct emerged as significant problem areas for hyperactive children.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings highlight the need for interventions to enhance self-perception in children with ADHD.
    • Developing targeted nursing care strategies is a critical first step in comprehensive care planning.
    • Addressing self-perception deficits can improve overall outcomes for hyperactive children.
