Abstract

Objective:To explore emerging adults’ descriptions of important resilience factors when growing up with ADHD.Method:Individual interviews with 10 emerging adults (21–24 years) who participated in a 10-year follow-up study, analyzed using thematic analysis.Results:The main theme was that “life gets better.” Resilience factors contributing to this positive development were strategies to regulate ADHD, valuable relationships, acceptance, seeing positive attributes of ADHD, receiving tailored, non-stigmatizing support, and participating in meaningful activities.Conclusion:Growing up with ADHD was associated with both challenges and positives, but the main resilience theme was that life gets better. A variety of resilience factors contributed to this, but relational and environmental factors seemed particularly important. Acceptance, both from society and self-acceptance, were related to all resilience factors in various ways indicating that better knowledge of ADHD might foster better understanding and acceptance of children and adolescents with ADHD.

生活会越来越好多动症患者成长过程中的重要复原因素

目的：探讨新成人对患有多动症的成长过程中重要复原力因素的描述。方法：对参加了一项为期 10 年的跟踪研究的 10 名新成人（21-24 岁）进行个别访谈，并采用主题分析法对访谈进行分析。结果：主要主题是 "生活会变得更好"。结果：主要的主题是 "生活会变得更好"，促成这一积极发展的复原力因素包括调节多动症的策略、有价值的人际关系、接纳、看到多动症的积极属性、获得量身定制的非污名化支持以及参加有意义的活动。多种抗逆力因素对此有所贡献，但关系和环境因素似乎尤为重要。社会的接纳和自我接纳以不同的方式与所有抗逆力因素相关，这表明更好地了解多动症可能会促进人们更好地理解和接纳多动症儿童和青少年。
