A number of technologies to help self-manage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and young people (YP) have been developed. This review will assess the level of evidence for the use of such technologies. The review was undertaken in accordance with the general principles recommended in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. 7545 studies were screened. Fourteen studies of technology that aim to self-manage difficulties associated with ADHD in children and YP were included. Primary outcome measures were measures that assessed difficulties related to ADHD. Databases searched were MEDLINE, Web of Science (Core collection), CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, ProQuest ASSIA, PsycINFO and Scopus. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed. This review highlights the potential for the use of technology in paediatric ADHD management. However, it also demonstrates that current research lacks robustness; using small sample sizes, non-validated outcome measures and little psychoeducation component. Future research is required to investigate the value of technology in supporting children and YP with ADHD and a focus psychoeducation is needed.
已经开发出许多帮助儿童和青少年(YP)自我管理注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的技术。本综述将评估此类技术使用的证据水平。该综述是根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目中推荐的一般原则进行的。筛选了 7545 项研究。纳入了 14 项旨在自我管理儿童和 YP 与 ADHD 相关困难的技术研究。主要结局指标是评估与 ADHD 相关困难的措施。检索的数据库包括 MEDLINE、Web of Science(核心合集)、CINAHL、Cochrane 图书馆、ProQuest ASSIA、PsycINFO 和 Scopus。评估了研究的方法学质量。本综述强调了技术在儿科 ADHD 管理中的应用潜力。然而,它也表明,当前的研究缺乏稳健性;使用小样本量、未经验证的结局指标和较少的心理教育成分。需要进一步研究技术在支持患有 ADHD 的儿童和 YP 方面的价值,并且需要关注心理教育。
