Various ADHD-Associated Problematic Life Events in Parents of Children with ADHD Diagnosis

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, DEHB tanısı ile izlenen çocukların ebeveynlerinde DEHB tanısı ile bazı sorunlu yaşam olayları arasında ilişki olup olmadığını ortaya koymaktır.Yöntem: Çalışmaya, DEHB tanısı ile takip edilen 167 çocuğa ait 249 ebeveyn ile, çocuğunda ve kendisinde DEHB tanısı olmayan 146 kişiden oluşan sağlıklı kontrol grubu dahil edilmiştir. Tanısal değerlendirmede DSM-IV tanı ölçütleri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, DSM-V için önerilen tanı kriterlerinden ve DEHB belirtilerini tarama ölçeklerinden (Wender Utah Derecelendirme Ölçeği-25, Erişkin Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu Kendi Bildirim Ölçeği) yararlanılmıştır. Sorunlu yaşam olayları, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan bilgi formuna kaydedilmiştir.Bulgular: DEHB tanı kriterlerini karşılayan ebeveynlerin, bu kriterleri karşılamayan ebeveynlere ve sağlıklı kontrollere göre hemen hemen tüm sorunlu yaşam olaylarını daha yüksek oranda yaşadıkları bulundu. Sonuç: DEHB tanılı çocukların ebeveynleri, yaşamları boyunca DEHB ile ilişkili sorunlu yaşam olaylarına yüksek oranda maruz kalırlar. Bu ebeveynlerin DEHB tanısı açısından değerlendirilmeleri gereklidir

DEHB tanılı çocukların ebeveynlerinde DEHB ile ilişkili bazı sorunlu yaşam olayları

Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish whether there was any relationship between diagnosis of ADHD and various problematic life events in parents of children monitored with a diagnosis of ADHD. Method: Two hundred forty nine parents of 167 children followed-up with a diagnosis of ADHD and 146 healthy controls with no diagnosis of ADHD in their children or themselves were included. DSM-IV diagnostic criteria were used in diagnostic evaluation. Diagnostic criteria recommended for DSM-V and ADHD symptom assessment scales (Wender Utah Rating Scale-25, Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale) were also used. Problematic life events were recorded on a data form prepared by the authors. Results: Parents meeting a diagnosis of ADHD experienced nearly all problematic life events at a higher level compared to parents not meeting that diagnosis and to the healthy controls. Conclusion: Parents of children diagnosed with ADHD are exposed to a high, lifelong level of ADHD- associated life events. These parents should be evaluated in terms of diagnosis of ADHD
