This cross-sectional questionnaire survey study was designed to examine the complementary and alternative intervention strategies (CAIS) employed by caregivers for their children's attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the associations of affiliate stigma with the employment and rated effectiveness of these strategies in Taiwan. A total of 400 caregivers of children with ADHD participated. CAIS that the caregivers employed and their effectiveness rated by the caregivers were surveyed. Associations of affiliate stigma with the application and rated effectiveness of the strategies were determined using logistic regression analysis. The results indicated that sensory integration (30.3%), exercise training (29.3%), sugar restriction (20.5%), and omega fatty acid supplementation (11.3%) were the most common CAIS that the caregivers employed. Caregivers with stronger affiliate stigma were more likely to employ sensory integration, exercise training, and omega fatty acid supplementation but also rated them as ineffective in treating their children's ADHD. Various CAIS were employed by the caregivers to manage their children's ADHD. Affiliate stigma was significantly associated with the application and rated ineffectiveness of several CAIS.
本横断面问卷调查研究旨在探讨照顾者在儿童注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）方面采用的补充和替代干预策略（CAIS），以及关联耻辱感与这些策略在台湾的应用和有效性评价之间的关系。共有 400 名患有 ADHD 的儿童的照顾者参与了研究。调查了照顾者所采用的 CAIS 及其有效性评价。使用逻辑回归分析确定关联耻辱感与策略的应用和有效性评价之间的关系。结果表明，感觉统合（30.3%）、运动训练（29.3%）、限制糖摄入（20.5%）和ω-3 脂肪酸补充（11.3%）是照顾者最常采用的 CAIS。关联耻辱感较强的照顾者更有可能采用感觉统合、运动训练和ω-3 脂肪酸补充，但也认为这些方法对治疗孩子的 ADHD 无效。照顾者采用了各种 CAIS 来管理孩子的 ADHD。关联耻辱感与几种 CAIS 的应用和无效性评价显著相关。
