BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the influence of internalizing symptoms on functional impairment for children with ADHD, and whether child strengths and parenting strengths have moderating effects on this relationship.
Participants included 209 children with ADHD and their caregivers seeking mental health services between the ages of 5 and 11 years. To examine the moderating effects of parenting and child strengths, ordinary least squares regression models were tested using the PROCESS macro for SPSS (v3.5).
Results suggest that levels of internalizing symptoms influence functional impairment in children with ADHD. Child strengths moderate the relationship between internalizing symptoms and functional impairment when internalizing symptoms are medium to high.
Findings from this study demonstrate that facilitating child strengths can help moderate functional impairment for children who experience ADHD and internalizing symptoms.
背景/目的：本研究旨在探讨儿童注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）患者内化症状对其功能损害的影响，以及儿童优势和父母优势是否对这种关系有调节作用。
参与者包括 209 名年龄在 5 至 11 岁之间、正在寻求心理健康服务的 ADHD 儿童及其照顾者。为了检验父母和儿童优势的调节作用，使用 SPSS（v3.5）的 PROCESS 宏对普通最小二乘回归模型进行了检验。
结果表明，内化症状水平会影响 ADHD 儿童的功能损害。当内化症状处于中等到高度时，儿童优势会调节内化症状与功能损害之间的关系。
本研究结果表明，促进儿童优势可以帮助减轻有 ADHD 和内化症状的儿童的功能损害。
