Abstract

Little is known about the relationships among attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, food-preparation skills, executive functions (EFs), and quality of life (QoL) in adults. This study examined differences between adults with and without ADHD regarding food-preparation skills and their relationships with EFs and QoL. The study included 63 adults with ADHD (mean age = 39 ± 11 years) and 101 without ADHD (mean age = 43 ± 10 years). Participants completed standardized self-report measures of ADHD symptoms (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale [ASRS]), food-preparation skills (Cooking and Food Provisioning Action Scale [CAFPAS]), EFs (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version [BRIEF-A]), and QoL (World Health Organization Quality of Life [WHOQOL]). Adults with ADHD reported lower food-preparation self-efficacy (d = -0.47, p < .001). An integrated mediation model showed a differentiated pattern of indirect associations, with metacognitive abilities more consistently linked to food-preparation and behavioral regulation more salient for QoL. Results advance understanding of occupation by demonstrating how EFs mediate engagement in food preparation and suggest exploring additional factors influencing this daily activity.

ADHD成人食物准备技能及执行功能的中介作用。

对于成年人的注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）症状、食物准备技能、执行功能（EFs）和生活质量（QoL）之间的关系，我们知之甚少。这项研究调查了患有和没有多动症的成年人在食物准备技能方面的差异，以及他们与ef和生活质量的关系。本研究纳入63例成人ADHD患者（平均年龄39±11岁）和101例非ADHD患者（平均年龄43±10岁）。参与者完成了ADHD症状（成人ADHD自述量表[ASRS]）、食物准备技能（烹饪和食物供应行动量表[CAFPAS]）、ef（执行功能行为评定量表-成人版[BRIEF-A]）和QoL（世界卫生组织生活质量量表[WHOQOL]）的标准化自我报告测量。患有ADHD的成人报告食物制备自我效能较低（d = -0.47, p < .001）。综合中介模型显示了间接关联的分化模式，元认知能力与食物准备的关联更为一致，行为调节对生活质量的影响更为显著。研究结果通过展示电磁场如何介导食物准备的参与，促进了对职业的理解，并建议探索影响这种日常活动的其他因素。
