Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is known as the most common neurological disorder in childhood. Failure to timely diagnose ADHD can lead to harmful effects for the individual and the family. The relationship between this disorder and the addiction to video games has been reported in children. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the degree of addiction to video games in Iranian children with ADHD, compared with normal children.
In this applied research, 99 children with ADHD referring to Imam Hossein Hospital and 99 normal children in elementary schools of Tehran (control group) were recruited. Data were collected using Conner's Scale and Young's Internet Addiction Test (video games). The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 22).
In this study, 11% of the children with ADHD and 4% of the normal children had addiction to video games. This difference was significant between the two groups ( < 0.05). Moreover, 58% of the children with ADHD and 27% of the normal children were exposed to video games. This difference was also significant between the two groups ( < 0.05).
The results showed that the frequency and prevalence of addiction to video games were higher in children with ADHD than in normal children. Therefore, it can be concluded that timely diagnosis of this disorder leads to better treatment.
注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是儿童期最常见的神经障碍。未能及时诊断ADHD会对个体和家庭产生有害影响。儿童中该障碍与电子游戏成瘾之间的关系已有报道。因此，本研究旨在调查与正常儿童相比，伊朗ADHD儿童的电子游戏成瘾程度。
在这项应用研究中，招募了99名转诊至伊玛目侯赛因医院的ADHD儿童和99名德黑兰小学的正常儿童（对照组）。使用康纳量表和杨氏网络成瘾测试（电子游戏部分）收集数据。数据使用SPSS（版本22）进行分析。
在本研究中，11%的ADHD儿童和4%的正常儿童有电子游戏成瘾。两组之间的差异具有统计学意义（<0.05）。此外，58%的ADHD儿童和27%的正常儿童接触过电子游戏。两组之间的差异同样具有统计学意义（<0.05）。
结果表明，ADHD儿童电子游戏成瘾的频率和患病率高于正常儿童。因此，可以得出结论，及时诊断该障碍会带来更好的治疗效果。
