Assessment of Perceived Parental Acceptance- Rejection and Psychological Adjustment Levels of Children Diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu tanısı konulan çocukların ebeveynlerindeki kabul-red durumunu algılayışları ve psikolojik uyum düzeylerinin incelenmesiAmaç: Bu çalışmada dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB) olan çocukların algıladıkları ebeveyn kabul-red ve psikolojik uyumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya DEHB tanısı konulan 9-12 yaş arasındaki 64 ve herhangi bir tanısı olmayan 52 çocuk ve aileleri katılmıştır. Çocuklar ilk olarak 'Okul Çağı Çocukları için Duygulanım Bozuklukları ve Şizofreni Görüşme Çizelgesi-Şimdi ve Yaşam Boyu Versiyonu' ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak Ebeveyn KabulRed Ölçeği- Çocuk formu, Kişilik Değerlendirme Ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Klinik ve normal örneklem gruplarının karşılaştırıldığı bu çalışmada, DEHB'li çocukların, tanısı olmayanlara göre anne ve babaları tarafından daha fazla reddedildiklerini algıladıkları, bunun yanı sıra daha kötü psikolojik uyuma sahip oldukları bulunmuştur. DEHB'li çocuklar annelerinden daha fazla red algılarken, normal örneklemdeki çocuklar babalarından daha az ilgi aldıklarını bildirmektedir.Sonuç: Bu çalışma DEHB'li çocukların ebeveyn kabul-red algılarını ve psikolojik uyumlarını göstermesi açısından son derece önemlidir. Bunun yanı sıra, ebeveynin anne ya da baba olmasının, çocuğun DEHB tanısı olup olmamasına bağlı olarak, kabul-red algısını etkilediği görülmüştür. Kabul-red ile ilgili olarak elde edilen bu bulgular, DEHB aile eğitimlerinde kullanılabilecek yararlı ipuçları sunmasının yanı sıra bu çocukların psikolojik uyumlarını geliştirmek için yapılacak çalışmalar için de yararlı olacaktır

Assessment of perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological adjustment levels of children diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderObjective: This study aimed to assess the perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological adjustment levels of children diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Method: This study included 64 children aged 9 to 12 who were diagnosed with ADHD and 52 healthy children and their parents. Children were evaluated with ‘Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime version’. The Parental Acceptance-Rejection QuestionnaireChild Form, Personality Assessment Questionnaire and a Personal Information Questionnaire formed by the researchers have been used as data collection tools.Results: In this study in which ADHD and control groups were compared, it was found that children diagnosed with ADHD perceived parental rejection more and had worse psychological adjustment than those without the diagnosis. Children with ADHD reported more rejection from the mother whereas children in the control group reported less care from the father. Conclusion: This study is exceptionally important in terms of demonstrating perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological adjustment of children with ADHD. Besides, it has been seen that depending on the presence of ADHD, the child’s perceived parental acceptance-rejection is differently affected from the mother and the father. The findings on acceptance-rejection, in addition to giving helpful clues for ADHD family education, they will be also helpful in studies to improve the psychological assessment of these children
