The authors explored parents' perceptions of and everyday experiences with the stimulant medication used to treat their child's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in this phenomenological study. They elicited experiences through semistructured interviews with 10 Canadian parents of children with ADHD. In the interviews, parents revealed the meaning the stimulant medication had taken on in the context of their everyday lives. Through the interview analysis, dilemma emerged as the dominant theme. Parents were caught in a dynamic balancing act, as they considered the medication's desirable and undesirable effects in various settings. In addition, parents shared their expectations regarding the medication's role in their child's future. The study's findings reinforce the necessity of further qualitative research in this area, given the growing number of families around the globe whose children have been diagnosed with ADHD.
在这项现象学研究中，作者探讨了父母对用于治疗其孩子注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的刺激性药物的看法及日常体验。他们通过对10位患有ADHD孩子的加拿大父母进行半结构化访谈来获取相关体验。在访谈中，父母们揭示了刺激性药物在他们日常生活背景下所具有的意义。通过访谈分析，两难困境成为主导主题。父母们陷入了一种动态的平衡行为中，因为他们在各种情境下权衡药物的有利和不利影响。此外，父母们还分享了他们对药物在孩子未来中所起作用的期望。鉴于全球范围内被诊断患有ADHD的孩子的家庭数量不断增加，该研究结果强化了在这一领域进一步开展定性研究的必要性。
