Sometimes treatment is not necessarily according to guidelines, which is partly due to attitudes rather than lack of knowledge. In Germany, regional differences concerning prevalence rates of ADHD exist without valid explanation. We contribute with our data to the question of attitudes toward ADHD among pediatricians in Germany.
A specially designed questionnaire based on the Knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorders Scale and previous surveys was sent to pediatricians. In addition to descriptive statistics, we performed factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.
The vast majority (85.5%) of 581 respondents have a positive attitude toward ADHD, i.e., ADHD exists and should be treated appropriately. Physicians with positive attitudes were older and more often had a neuropediatric specialization.
Most of the pediatricians surveyed in Germany assess ADHD and treatment in line with medical guidelines and treat as part of multimodal therapy.

有时治疗并不一定遵循指南,部分原因在于态度而非知识的欠缺。在德国,注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)患病率存在地区差异,但尚无合理的解释。我们通过数据来探讨德国儿科医生对ADHD的态度问题。
基于注意缺陷障碍知识量表及以往调查设计了一份专门的问卷,并发送给儿科医生。除描述性统计外,我们还进行了因子分析和多元线性回归分析。
581名受访者中的绝大多数(85.5%)对ADHD持积极态度,即ADHD确实存在且应得到适当治疗。持积极态度的医生年龄较大,且更常具有神经儿科专业背景。
德国大多数接受调查的儿科医生对ADHD的评估和治疗符合医学指南,并将其作为多模式治疗的一部分进行治疗。
