Abstract

Objective: Knowledge and Attitude of Parents about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is an important factor in management of the disorder in children. This study investigates the Parents’ Knowledge and Attitude towards ADHD, its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Method: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the subjects were 150 Parents (120 mother and 30 father) of ADHD children who were referred to a child psychiatry clinic affiliated in university of social welfare and rehabilitation sciences in Tehran. The diagnosis was made by a child psychiatrist according to DSM-IV TR criteria. The Parents completed a 40 items questionnaire that was prepared by the authors and assessed their Knowledge and Attitude towards ADHD and source of their information. Results: The most common source of parent’ s information about ADHD was TV. The parent’ s knowledge about the symptoms of the disorder was relatively good. But in regard to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disorder, they have very low knowledge and even incorrect beliefs. The parent’ s knowledge significantly correlated with their educational level (p=0. 01). Conclusion: In general, knowledge of the Parents was low and it can lead to misdiagnosis or mismanagement of this common and important disorder and need to further consideration in terms of educating Parents about the disorder in media specially TV.
