To explore the burden associated with childhood ADHD in a large observational study. We recruited familes with at least one child (6-18 years) with ADHD via 15 NHS trusts in the UK, and collected data from all family members. We made careful adjustments to ensure a like-for-like comparison with two different control groups, and explored the impact of controlling for a positive parental/carer ADHD screen, employment, and relationship status. We found significant negative impacts of childhood ADHD on parents'/carers' hours and quality of sleep, satisfaction with leisure time, and health-related quality of life (measured by the EuroQol-5D [EQ-5D]). We found a decrement in life satisfaction, mental well-being (as measured by the Short-Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale [S-WEMWBS]), and satisfaction with intimate relationships, but this was not always robust across the different control groups. We did not find any decrement in satisfaction with health, self-reported health status, or satisfaction with income. The study quantifies the impact on the health and well-being of parents living with a child with ADHD using a survey of families attending ADHD clinics in the United Kingdom.
在一项大型观察性研究中探索与儿童 ADHD 相关的负担。我们通过英国 15 家 NHS 信托机构招募了至少有一名患有 ADHD 的儿童（6-18 岁）的家庭，并从所有家庭成员那里收集数据。我们进行了仔细的调整，以确保与两个不同的对照组进行相似的比较，并探讨了控制父母/照顾者 ADHD 筛查、就业和关系状况的影响。我们发现，儿童 ADHD 对父母/照顾者的工作时间和睡眠质量、休闲时间满意度以及健康相关生活质量（通过 EuroQol-5D [EQ-5D] 衡量）产生了显著的负面影响。我们发现生活满意度、心理健康（通过短沃里克爱丁堡心理健康量表 [S-WEMWBS] 衡量）和亲密关系满意度下降，但在不同的对照组中并不总是稳健。我们没有发现健康、自我报告的健康状况或收入满意度有任何下降。该研究通过对英国 ADHD 诊所就诊家庭的调查，量化了患有 ADHD 的儿童的父母的健康和幸福感所受到的影响。
