Abstract

Background: Enhancing self-compassion (SC) was found to enhance Quality of Life (QoL). There is a need to comprehend SC manifestations among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who experience low QoL to provide a foundation for Recovery-based interventions aiming to enhance SC and QoL among adults with ADHD.

Objective: To explore SC manifestations and their relationships with ADHD symptoms and ADHD related QoL.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey used self-rated questionnaires for ADHD symptoms, QoL and SC among 32 adults with ADHD, recruited by a volunteer community sampling.

Results: Moderate overall SC was noted. Negative SC means were found to be higher than the positive SC means. The positive SC subscale common humanity had the lowest mean while the negative SC subscale overidentification had the highest mean. Overall SC level was found to significantly contribute to ADHD symptoms in predicting QoL variance. Overidentification was found to be a significant partial mediator between ADHD symptoms and QoL.

Conclusion: Recovery-based interventions aiming to decrease the tendency of adults with ADHD to overidentify with their negative thoughts and feelings and to enhance their realization that their difficulties are shared by others, may have the potential to enhance SC and QoL.

理解成人ADHD患者的自我同情表现及其关系：康复干预的基础。

背景：增强自我同情（SC）可以提高生活质量（QoL）。有必要了解生活质量较低的注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）成人的SC表现，为旨在提高ADHD成人SC和生活质量的康复干预提供基础。目的：探讨SC的表现及其与ADHD症状和ADHD相关生活质量的关系。方法：对32名成人ADHD患者进行横断面调查，采用自评问卷调查ADHD症状、生活质量和SC。结果：中度整体SC被注意到。阴性SC均值高于阳性SC均值。阳性SC分量表“共同人性”的平均值最低，而阴性SC分量表“过度认同”的平均值最高。总体SC水平对ADHD症状预测生活质量方差有显著影响。过度识别是ADHD症状与生活质量之间的重要部分中介。结论：以康复为基础的干预措施旨在降低ADHD成人对其消极思想和感受的过度认同倾向，并增强其对他人分担其困难的认识，可能具有提高SC和QoL的潜力。
