The present study examined the perceptions of parents of children with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADD/H) regarding their family environment and depression in comparison with a clinical and a nondisabled control group. Parents of children with ADD/H perceived their family environment as less supportive and more stressful than did either the clinical or the nondisabled controls. Specifically, ADD/H parents viewed their families as having lower levels of interpersonal relationships than did either of the control groups. Ratings of depression for each of the parent groups indicated a greater frequency of depressive symptomatology among the parents of children with ADD/H. In addition, more parents of ADD/H children were separated or divorced. Correlation coefficients computed for the entire sample suggest differences between mothers' and fathers' depression and differences in their perceptions of the family. Recommendations are made for future research as well as the development of treatment programs to incorporate work with the parents of children with ADD/H.
本研究调查了患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADD/H）儿童的家长对其家庭环境的看法以及他们的抑郁情况，并与临床对照组和非残疾对照组进行了比较。与临床对照组和非残疾对照组相比，患有ADD/H儿童的家长认为他们的家庭环境支持性更低、压力更大。具体而言，患有ADD/H儿童的家长认为他们家庭中的人际关系水平低于两个对照组中的任何一组。对每个家长组的抑郁评分表明，患有ADD/H儿童的家长中出现抑郁症状的频率更高。此外，患有ADD/H儿童的家长中分居或离婚的更多。对整个样本计算的相关系数表明，母亲和父亲的抑郁情况以及他们对家庭的看法存在差异。针对未来研究以及制定治疗方案提出了建议，这些方案应包括与患有ADD/H儿童的家长合作。
