This study aimed to investigate the agreement between parent- and child-reported quality of life (QoL) and the self-perceptions of children with ADHD.
A cross-sectional survey of school-aged children with ADHD and their parents was undertaken.
Parents reported their child's QoL as lower than the children rated themselves in most QoL domains. Children reporting higher QoL than their parents had higher self-worth, than children who reported lower QoL. There was no difference in ADHD or oppositional symptoms or child age for children reporting higher versus lower QoL than their parents. Children reported experiencing ADHD symptoms and positive aspects in taking stimulant medication.
It is important to elicit the report of both parents and children for understanding the functional impairment of children with ADHD. Children who report lower child QoL than their parents have lower overall self-worth; these children may be at risk for developing internalizing difficulties.
本研究旨在探讨父母报告和儿童自我报告的注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)儿童生活质量(QoL)之间的一致性。
对学龄期 ADHD 儿童及其父母进行了横断面调查。
父母报告的儿童 QoL 在大多数 QoL 领域均低于儿童自我评估。与报告较低 QoL 的儿童相比,报告较高 QoL 的儿童自我价值感更高。报告的 QoL 高于父母的儿童在 ADHD 或对立症状或儿童年龄方面与报告较低 QoL 的儿童无差异。儿童报告了在服用兴奋剂药物时经历 ADHD 症状和积极方面。
为了了解 ADHD 儿童的功能障碍,同时获取父母和儿童的报告非常重要。与父母报告的 QoL 相比,报告较低 QoL 的儿童总体自我价值感较低;这些儿童可能有发展内化困难的风险。
