We examined how college students manage ADHD medication and how beliefs regarding the medication and attitudes of friends and families influence adherence on weekdays and weekends during an academic semester.
Undergraduate students ( n = 53) responded to an online survey to report their adherence, their beliefs about the effects of the medication, and their perception of important others' views of adherence.
Students chose to take more medication on weekdays than weekends. On weekdays, beliefs that the medications enhance academic performance and social skills influenced adherence, and on weekends, beliefs regarding negative side effects were important. The perception that medication leads to a loss of authentic self reduced adherence at both times. Generally, students believed that important others wanted them to take medication.
Students were actively weighing the costs and benefits of taking their ADHD medication and consciously adjusting adherence levels from day to day.
我们研究了大学生如何管理 ADHD 药物治疗,以及他们对药物的信念和对朋友和家人态度如何影响他们在学术学期的平日和周末的服药依从性。
本科学生(n=53)通过在线调查报告他们的服药依从性、他们对药物作用的信念以及他们对重要他人对服药态度的看法。
学生选择在平日比周末服用更多的药物。在平日,认为药物能提高学习成绩和社交技能的信念影响了服药依从性,而在周末,对药物副作用的看法则很重要。认为药物导致失去真实自我的观念会降低两个时间段的服药依从性。总的来说,学生们认为重要的他人希望他们服药。
学生们积极权衡服用 ADHD 药物的成本和收益,并自觉调整每日的服药依从性。
