To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) from the perspective of children with ADHD and their parents being seen in a Pediatric Clinic in comparison to healthy children and children with ADHD being seen in a Psychiatric Clinic.
Participants were children with a physician diagnosis of ADHD ages 5-18 years and their parents (n=17, General Pediatric Clinic; n=181, Psychiatric Clinic). Children and parents completed the PedsQL™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales. Parents completed the PedsQL Family Impact Module and Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scales.
Pediatric patients with ADHD being seen in the Pediatric Clinic demonstrated substantially lower HRQOL in comparison to the matched healthy sample, and significantly higher HRQOL and family functioning than pediatric patients with ADHD being seen in the Psychiatric Clinic.
These data demonstrate the substantial negative impact of ADHD on HRQOL from the perspective of both children and parents.).
从儿科诊所就诊的 ADHD 儿童及其父母的角度,与在精神科诊所就诊的健康儿童和 ADHD 儿童进行比较,评估与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL)。
参与者为 5-18 岁被医生诊断为 ADHD 的儿童及其父母(普通儿科诊所 n=17;精神科诊所 n=181)。儿童和父母完成了 PedsQL™ 4.0 通用核心量表。父母完成了 PedsQL 家庭影响模块和范德比尔特注意力缺陷多动障碍诊断评定量表。
在儿科诊所就诊的患有 ADHD 的儿科患者与匹配的健康样本相比,HRQOL 明显较低,与在精神科诊所就诊的 ADHD 儿科患者相比,HRQOL 和家庭功能显著更高。
这些数据从儿童及其父母的角度表明 ADHD 对 HRQOL 有实质性的负面影响。
