Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) persists into adolescence and adulthood; however, few studies have analyzed the experiences of university students with ADHD. This study explored the difficulties experienced by university students with ADHD symptoms.
Between December 2015 and February 2016, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 university students with self-reported ADHD symptoms. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Difficulties in university life were classified into four main themes (lack of daily routine, unsatisfactory academic performance and achievement, reduced interpersonal skills, and continuing worries) and analyzed. University students with ADHD symptoms had difficulties coping with repeated cycles of negative thoughts and worries, irregular lifestyles due to poor time management, dissatisfaction with academic performance and interpersonal relationships, self-dissatisfaction, and decreased self-esteem.
To improve their university experience, students with ADHD should receive education about ways to stop worrying, to express emotions healthily, and to manage time efficiently.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）会持续到青少年期及成年期；然而，很少有研究分析过患有ADHD的大学生的经历。本研究探讨了有ADHD症状的大学生所经历的困难。
在2015年12月至2016年2月期间，对12名自我报告有ADHD症状的大学生进行了面对面访谈。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析。
大学生活中的困难被分为四个主要主题（缺乏日常规律、学业表现和成绩不尽人意、人际交往能力下降、持续担忧）并进行了分析。有ADHD症状的大学生在应对反复出现的消极想法和担忧、因时间管理不善导致的不规律生活方式、对学业成绩和人际关系的不满、自我不满以及自尊下降方面存在困难。
为了改善他们的大学生活体验，患有ADHD的学生应该接受关于停止担忧、健康表达情绪以及有效管理时间的方法的教育。
