This study aimed to improve our understanding regarding attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) awareness among dental care providers of Ajman University (AU), and also to identify factors that are highly associated with an increased awareness toward ADHD.
This is a cross-sectional survey study designed and carried out among convenience sample of dental care providers. The survey was carried out by using a self-administrated questionnaire. The questionnaire was composed into demographic, socioeconomic, and ADHD information.
The study shows low level of awareness toward ADHD. Moreover, participants who provided treatment for a patient with ADHD were found to show higher degree of awareness toward ADHD.
The existing results will be used in developing a well-planned program and clear polices to increase the level of awareness regarding ADHD.
本研究旨在增进我们对阿治曼大学(AU)牙科护理人员对注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)认识的了解,并确定与ADHD认识提高高度相关的因素。
这是一项横断面调查研究,在牙科护理人员的便利样本中设计并开展。该调查通过使用自填式问卷进行。问卷由人口统计学、社会经济和ADHD信息组成。
研究表明对ADHD的认识水平较低。此外,发现为ADHD患者提供治疗的参与者对ADHD的认识程度更高。
现有结果将用于制定精心规划的项目和明确的政策,以提高对ADHD的认识水平。
