摘要
背景:高水平的注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)特征与多种结果相关,包括抑郁症状、功能障碍和低自尊。此外,据报道,患有高水平ADHD特征的个体更容易受到对2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的恐惧的不利影响。目前的研究旨在通过中介分析来检验ADHD特征和结果之间的关联是否部分由对COVID-19的恐惧介导。方法:以医学相关专业的大学生为样本(n = 1166)进行横断面研究。分别采用成人ADHD自我报告量表、COVID-19恐惧量表、K6量表、Sheehan残疾量表和Rosenberg自尊量表对ADHD特征、COVID-19恐惧、抑郁症状、功能障碍和自尊进行评估。我们使用线性回归分析和Stata中的Paramed命令来分析对COVID-19的恐惧是否介导了ADHD特征与结果之间的关联。结果:ADHD特征与预后显著相关。关于COVID-19恐惧的影响,结果显示ADHD特征与COVID-19恐惧之间以及对COVID-19恐惧与结果之间存在显着关联。中介分析结果显示,对COVID-19的恐惧部分介导了ADHD特征与结局之间的关联(抑郁症状:直接效应B = 1.029, 95%可信区间[CI] 0.878, 1.181,间接效应B = 0.021, 95% CI 0.002, 0.040;功能损害:直接效应B = 0.786, 95% CI 0.593, 0.979,间接效应B = 0.033, 95% CI 0.005, 0.060;自尊:直接效应B = -1.052, 95% CI -1.226, -0.878,间接效应B = -0.024, 95% CI -0.046, -0.002)。结论:针对COVID-19等流行病的不利影响,制定预防措施对未来高水平ADHD特征的个体尤为重要。
Impact of fear of coronavirus disease 2019 on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder traits associated with depressive symptoms, functional impairment, and low self-esteem in university students: a cross-sectional study with mediation analysis.
Background: High levels of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits are associated with various outcomes, including depressive symptoms, functional impairment, and low self-esteem. Additionally, individuals with high levels of ADHD traits are reported to be more adversely affected by fear of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current study aimed to examine whether the association between ADHD traits and outcomes was partially mediated by fear of COVID-19 using mediation analysis.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of university students in medical-related faculties (n = 1,166). ADHD traits, fear of COVID-19, depressive symptoms, functional impairment, and self-esteem were assessed using the adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, K6 Scale, Sheehan Disability Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, respectively. We used linear regression analysis and the Paramed command in Stata to analyze whether fear of COVID-19 mediated the association between ADHD traits and outcomes.
Results: ADHD traits were significantly associated with outcomes. Regarding the impact of fear of COVID-19, the results revealed a significant association between ADHD traits and fear of COVID-19, and between fear of COVID-19 and outcomes. The results of the mediation analyses showed that the association between ADHD traits and outcomes was partially mediated by the fear of COVID-19 (depressive symptoms: direct effect B = 1.029, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.878, 1.181, indirect effect B = 0.021, 95% CI 0.002, 0.040; functional impairment: direct effect B = 0.786, 95% CI 0.593, 0.979, indirect effect B = 0.033, 95% CI 0.005, 0.060; self-esteem: direct effect B = -1.052, 95% CI -1.226, -0.878, indirect effect B = -0.024, 95% CI -0.046, -0.002).
Conclusions: Developing preventive measures against the adverse impacts of pandemics like COVID-19 will be particularly important for individuals with high levels of ADHD traits in future.
