Abstract

Current research on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is generally based on quantitative methodology. This indicates a lack of information on how ADHD individuals explain this phenomenon, and what they experience. The aim of this research is to reveal how attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is experienced in adolescents and how adolescents explain this phenomenon. The participants in this study were ten adolescents aged 11-18 who were diagnosed with ADHD and did not have a comorbid diagnosis. Participants were interviewed through a semi-structured interview form. The interviews were conducted and recorded on an online platform, and a transcript of the voice recording of each participant was then created. The texts obtained from the transcripts were analyzed with an interpretative phenomenological analysis. As a result of the analysis, the following themes were found: Academic difficulty, normalizing and affirming the diagnosis, living with undesirable emotions and behaviors, and negative social experiences. The findings reveal that the ADHD-related experiences of adolescents and their explanations for the ADHD diagnosis are not of a single nature. Instead, they were also perceived in a positive light as well as negative. The results reveal that the awareness of professionals and families who have contact with ADHD-diagnosed adolescents should be raised, and interventional and motivational programs directed at ADHD treatment-related negative experiences of adolescents can be organized.

青少年注意缺陷多动障碍的解释现象学分析

目前对注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的研究一般基于定量方法。这表明缺乏关于ADHD个体如何解释这种现象以及他们的经历的信息。本研究的目的是揭示青少年如何经历注意缺陷多动障碍，以及青少年如何解释这一现象。这项研究的参与者是10名年龄在11-18岁之间的青少年，他们被诊断为多动症，没有合并症的诊断。参与者通过半结构化的访谈表格进行访谈。访谈在一个在线平台上进行并记录，然后创建每个参与者的语音记录的文本。从抄本中获得的文本用解释性现象学分析进行了分析。分析结果发现了以下主题:学业困难，正常化和肯定诊断，生活在不良情绪和行为中，以及负面的社会经历。研究结果表明，青少年ADHD相关经历及其对ADHD诊断的解释并非单一性质。相反，他们也被认为是积极的，也有消极的。结果表明，与ADHD诊断青少年有接触的专业人员和家庭应该提高对ADHD的认识，并且可以组织针对ADHD治疗相关青少年负面经历的干预和激励计划。
