- Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study is to examine the family functions of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression-anxiety levels of their mothers. METHOD: Forty-five mothers of children with ADHD aged 7-12 years old who were evaluated according to DSM-IV criteria were included in this study. The control group consisted of 44 mothers of healthy children. Sociodemographic data form, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Family Assessment Device (FAD) were applied to the participants. RESULTS: It was revealed that the study group had depression (p< 0.001), state (p= 0.001) and trait anxiety levels (p= 0.047), subtests of FAD in which roles (p= 0.003), affective responsiveness (p= 0.008), affective involvement (p= 0.023) and behavior control points (p= 0.04) significantly higher than those of the control group. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that parents of children with ADHD would be exposed to distress and might be vulnerable to depression and anxiety disorders compared to those of healthy controls. Moreover, ADHD negatively can affect the family's function. However, there is an actual cause and effect relationship requires further investigation.
