Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.4K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children.
  • Treatment options for ADHD include behavioral interventions and pharmacotherapy.
  • Comparing the efficacy of different ADHD treatments is crucial for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of behavioral mother training (BMT), verbal self-instruction (VSI), and pharmacotherapy in children with ADHD.
  • To evaluate the impact of these interventions on attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms.
  • To assess treatment outcomes using the Continuous Performance Test (CPT).

Main Methods:

  • A semi-experimental study involving 51 elementary school students diagnosed with ADHD.
  • Random assignment of participants to BMT, VSI, and control groups.
  • A separate pharmacotherapy group was formed with 22 ADHD patients from a hospital setting.
  • Data collected using the Child Symptoms Inventory (CSI-4) and CPT, with assessments at post-test and 2-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant difference was observed in the severity of attention deficit and the number of correct responses on the CPT across treatment groups (P=0.01).
  • No significant difference in hyperactivity symptoms was found between the treatment groups (P=0.08).
  • The time factor demonstrated a significant difference in outcomes among the groups (p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Pharmacotherapy demonstrated efficacy in improving attention deficits and the number of correct responses in children with ADHD.
  • Behavioral interventions (BMT, VSI) did not show a significant advantage over the control group for hyperactivity symptoms.
  • Further research may be needed to explore the differential effects of these treatments on various ADHD symptom domains.
