This study investigates the relationship between ADHD and the personalities of parents of children with ADHD.
Personality traits of parents of children with ADHD (study group; n = 135) and parents of children without ADHD (control group; n = 122) were compared. Psychiatric comorbidities were excluded with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Clinical Version [SCID-I-CV]. Personality is assessed with Temperament and Character Inventory, and inattention (IA) and hyperactivity (HI) are assessed with Turgay Scale.
Harm avoidance and persistence scores were higher, and self-directedness (SD) scores were lower in the study group than the control group. Being in ADHD group predicted lower SD scores. Positive correlations were found between harm avoidance and IA and HI, and between persistence and HI. Negative correlations were found between SD and both IA and HI.
Our data suggest that there is relationship between ADHD in children's and parents' personalities. Common etiologic properties and personalized psychoeducation and treatment options for families should be discussed.
本研究探讨了 ADHD 儿童父母的个性与 ADHD 之间的关系。
比较了 ADHD 儿童的父母(研究组;n = 135)和无 ADHD 儿童的父母(对照组;n = 122)的个性特征。采用 DSM-IV 轴 I 障碍临床定式访谈(SCID-I-CV)排除了精神共病。采用气质与性格量表评估个性,采用图尔盖量表评估注意力不集中(IA)和多动(HI)。
研究组的回避伤害和坚持得分较高,而自我导向性(SD)得分较低。属于 ADHD 组预测 SD 得分较低。回避伤害与 IA 和 HI 呈正相关,坚持与 HI 呈正相关。SD 与 IA 和 HI 呈负相关。
我们的数据表明,儿童 ADHD 与父母个性之间存在一定关系。应该讨论共同的发病机制和针对家庭的个性化心理教育和治疗选择。
