“…One reason for this finding might be that ADHD symptoms respond very quickly to treatment, whereas QOL can show relatively delayed improvement . The results suggest that the feelings of competency and the general sense of well‐being that were assessed in this study might be more reflective of stress‐related outcomes than stressors themselves . However, we also cannot rule out the possibility that children with ADHD and parents influenced each other in a reciprocal manner over the 8‐week period.…”

Aim: This naturalistic study investigated the associations between quality of life and depressive mood in parents and symptom changes in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children. Methods:At baseline and at weeks 4 and 8, the parents evaluated their children, who were receiving treatment with osmotic-release oral system methylphenidate (mean dosage 36.3 ± 15.5 mg/day), using the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham -Fourth Edition (SNAP-IV-18) scale. The parents evaluated themselves using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment, Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF).Results: A significant reduction in SNAP-IV-18 scores and improvements in parental BDI scores and parental WHOQOL-BREF scores were observed. The decrease in BDI scores from baseline to 8 weeks was significantly associated with increases in WHOQOL-BREF sub-domain scores from baseline to 8 weeks, with a greater decrease at 4 weeks and after. The decrease in the SNAP-IV-18 hyperactivity-impulsivity score was significantly associated with increases in WHOQOL social sub-domain scores from baseline to 8 weeks. For those patients who showed a 25% or greater decrease in the SNAP-IV-18 total scores from baseline to 8 weeks, the decreases in the SNAP-IV-18 total score and in the inattention and hyperactivityimpulsivity scores were significantly associated with a decrease in BDI scores from baseline to 8 weeks. Conclusion:Methylphenidate treatment for ADHD was associated with both symptom alleviation in children with ADHD and improvement in parental depressive mood and quality of life, suggesting that the effects of treatment could go beyond symptom improvement in ADHD.

“…ADHD and HIA in children and adolescents have proven to be demanding for parents (e.g., Breen and Barkley 1988;Brown and Pacini 1989;Cunningham et al 1988;Johnson and Reader 2002;Lifford et al 2008Lifford et al , 2009Mash and Johnston 1983;Reader et al 2009), but why these behaviors are especially demanding and how parents react to these behaviors have been largely unknown. In this study, we tested a theoretical model proposing and explaining parents' reactions to HIA in a nonclinical sample, and the model was largely supported.…”

“…In numerous cross-sectional studies, parents whose children and adolescents have been diagnosed with ADHD have been found, compared with other parents, to experience more stress (e.g., Johnson and Reader 2002;Mash and Johnston 1983;Reader et al 2009), less satisfaction in their parenting role (Lange et al 2005;Podolski and Nigg 2001), and more depressive symptoms (Befera and Barkley 1985;Breen and Barkley 1988;Brown and Pacini 1989;Cunningham et al 1988). In addition, these families report more negative interactions than other families (Barkley et al 1991(Barkley et al , 1992Schroeder and Kelley 2009;Whalen et al 2006).…”

“…First, few studies have considered whether HIA in boys and girls affects parents similarly, and among those that have, the results are conflicting (Breen and Barkley 1988;Lifford et al 2008Lifford et al , 2009Podolski and Nigg 2001;Reader et al 2009). Second, defiant behaviors seem to be an important aspect in the link between ADHD and negative parenting, and some studies have even shown that defiance is more important than ADHD in predicting parental outcomes (Burke et al 2008;Johnston et al 2006;Kashdan et al 2004;Podolski and Nigg 2001;Seipp and Jonston 2005).…”

Parents’ Reactions to Youths’ Hyperactivity, Impulsivity, and Attention Problems

Hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention problems (HIA) in children and adolescents are stressful for parents. In this study, we used theories of parents' perceived power and attributions for youths' behaviors to develop a model to understand parents' reactions to their youths' HIA. We followed 706 youths (376 boys and 330 girls, aged 10-12 years at T1) and their parents in a community-based project over 5 years. Measures of youths' HIA, youths' unresponsiveness to correction, parents' feelings of powerlessness, parental monitoring, and parents' negative behaviors toward their youths, were used. HIA in youths predicted increases in parents' perceptions that their youths were unresponsive to correction, which in turn prompted parents to feel more powerless over time. Further, parents' feelings of powerlessness were associated with increases in negative parenting behaviors over time. These results indicate a movement to more negative parenting practices over time as a result of youths' HIA.

“…These parenting practices were also present in the intervention studies where the combined treatment for ADHD (medication management and behavioral therapy) decreased negative or ineffective discipline and parenting practices (Hinshaw et al., ; Wells et al., ). Caregiver health, like parental functioning and parental stress, also influenced ADHD care in the descriptive and intervention studies (Gerdes, Haack, & Schneider, ; Haydicky et al., ; Hurtig et al., ; Kendall et al., ; Reader, Stewart, & Johnson, ).…”

The Role of Family Phenomena in Children and Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

A wide array of family-related concepts are identified in the literature and represent a multifaceted and dynamic range of family phenomena related to ADHD youth. Four major themes emerged in the literature, including family stress and strain, parenting practices and caregiver health, family relationships, and family processes related to ADHD management. Different cultural and ethnic groups are reflected in the studies, but the majority of participants are self-identified Caucasian. As a collective, the research findings suggest family-related phenomena are essential and relevant to the investigation of children and adolescents with ADHD and worthwhile to explore in future research endeavors, especially in diverse populations.
