摘要

背景:注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)现已被公认为是一个重大的公共卫生问题,是一种持续存在的神经发育障碍。它给生活的各个领域带来挑战,一直持续到成年,而且往往得不到诊断。从 2023 年 7 月到 2023 年 12 月,这项研究调查了巴基斯坦医学本科生中未确诊成人多动症的患病率、类型、参与者的知识和看法以及人口学决定因素:这项横断面研究招募了 342 名符合选拔标准的医学本科生。数据收集采用在线自填式调查,包括三个主要部分,使用世界卫生组织 18 个问题的成人多动症自评量表 1.1 版(ASRS-v1.1)来评估成人多动症症状。数据分析采用 SPSS(26.0 版)进行:119名医学生患有成人多动症,占34.8%。注意力不集中是最常见的表现形式(86 人,占 72.3%),其次是混合型(20 人,占 16.8%)和多动型(13 人,占 10.9%)。在统计学上有显著差异(P本研究揭示了巴基斯坦医科学生中未确诊的成人多动症和注意力不集中主导型多动症的显著患病率,凸显了认识和筛查方面的差距。这些发现强调了实施多动症筛查计划的重要必要性。

The prevalence of undiagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among undergraduate medical students: a survey from Pakistan.

Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now acknowledged as a significant public health concern, a persistent neurodevelopmental disorder. It poses challenges across various life domains, persisting into adulthood, and is often undiagnosed. From July 2023 to December 2023, this study investigated the prevalence, types, participants' knowledge and perceptions, and demographic determinants of undiagnosed adult ADHD among undergraduate medical students in Pakistan.

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 342 undergraduate medical students who fulfilled the selection criteria. The data was collected using an online self-administered survey consisting of three main parts using the WHO 18-question Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, Version 1.1 (ASRS-v1.1), to assess adult ADHD symptoms. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS (version 26.0).

Results: 119 medical students, or 34.8%, had adult ADHD. Inattentive dominance was the most prevalent presentation at (86, 72.3%), followed by mixed dominance at (20, 16.8%), and hyperactive dominance at (13, 10.9%). There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) association between individuals who screened positive for adult ADHD and had co-occurring psychological disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression) and a family history of psychiatric disorders (e.g., ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder). Additionally, these individuals perceived that individuals with adult ADHD could live a normal life despite their condition. While the type of ADHD was significantly associated with the use of medications for psychological disorders, it was significantly higher among hyperactive dominants (5,71.4%), and the family history of GAD was significantly higher (2,10.0%) among mixed dominants.

Conclusion: This study reveals a significant prevalence of undiagnosed adult ADHD and an inattentive dominance among medical students in Pakistan, highlighting gaps in awareness and screening. These findings emphasize the crucial need for implementing ADHD screening programs.
