Abstract

Objective: To examine the experiences of Australian parents raising primary school-aged children with ADHD and gather feedback on a proposed ADHD parenting program.

Methods: Reflexive thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews undertaken with 11 Australian parents of 7- to 11-year-old children with ADHD. Interviews were conducted over Webex, audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed in NVivo Ltd. software.

Results: We identified four themes: (1) "I love my child but their ADHD traits are challenging," (2) "Compliance, control, and completion," (3) "It's hard, burdensome, and exhausting and I can feel like I'm alone," and (4) "What a welcome relief."

Conclusion: Parents report that although raising neurotypical children is difficult, the presence of childhood ADHD increases the emotional and support burden placed on them. Parents were also very interested in and supportive of the proposed ADHD parenting program. The program aims to enhance parents' understanding of the neurocognitive implications of ADHD and to foster secure parent-child attachment, attuned parental responsiveness, and age-appropriate development of traits that promote well-being, adaption and recovery in people with ADHD.).

父母养育7- 11岁ADHD儿童的经验及对建议育儿计划的看法：一项定性研究。

目的：研究澳大利亚父母养育患有ADHD的小学学龄儿童的经验，并收集对ADHD育儿计划的反馈意见。方法：对11名7- 11岁ADHD儿童的澳大利亚父母进行半结构化访谈，并对访谈内容进行反身性主题分析。访谈是通过Webex进行的，录音，逐字转录，并在NVivo有限公司的软件中进行分析。结果：我们确定了四个主题：(1)“我爱我的孩子，但他们的多动症特征很有挑战性。”“遵从性、控制和完成”(3)“这很辛苦，负担很重，很累，我觉得我很孤单。”“真是可喜的解脱。”结论：父母报告说，虽然抚养神经型儿童很困难，但儿童多动症的存在增加了他们的情感和支持负担。家长们也非常感兴趣并支持ADHD育儿计划。该项目旨在提高家长对多动症神经认知影响的理解，培养安全的亲子依恋，协调父母的反应，以及促进多动症患者健康、适应和康复的年龄相适应的特征发展。
