Child maltreatment and associated factors among children with ADHD: A comparative study

Associations between Inadequate Parenting Practices and Behavioral Problems in Children and Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

“…The scale Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems of CBCL covers behaviors such as “cannot sit still, restless, or hyperactive,” “fails to finish things he/she starts,” and “impulsive or acts without thinking.” Correlations coefficients indicate positive and statistically significant associations with parenting practices of physical abuse and inconsistent punishment. Parents of children with inattention and hyperactivity symptoms are more likely to resort to practices of physical abuse and inconsistent punishment [ 34 , 35 ]. According to Hadianfard [ 36 ], children with ADHD are more likely to be victims of violent parenting practices, especially psychological abuse and negligence, when compared to children without the disorder.…”

Child Maltreatment and Associated Parental Factors Among Children With ADHD: A Comparative Study

“…MacKenzie furthermore suggests that difficult temperament in children, such as hyperactivity and oppositional behaviors, increases parental distress; also, mothers of hyperactive children exhibited more physical discipline (MacKenzie, Nicklas, Brooks-Gunn, & Waldfogel, 2011) and parents of these children were found to have lower self-confidence, less warmth, and involvement with their children (Alizadeh et al, 2007). In another study that compared the mothers of children diagnosed with ADHD and the mothers of children with no psychiatric diagnosis with respect to abusive discipline attitudes and ADHD symptoms, they found that ADHD symptoms increased the risk of parental verbal and physically abusive discipline (Evinç et al, 2014). According to the results of the present study, there was a significant association between male gender in children with ADHD and emotional abuse.…”

From the perspective of abusive discipline attitudes with their children and corporal punishment used more significantly than among parents of non-ADHD children, Alizadeh and Evinc reported that parents of children with ADHD have lower self-confidence, less warmth, and less involvement (Alizadeh, Applequist, & Coolidge, 2007; Evinç et al, 2014).…”

Çevreden yalıtılmanın ya da sosyal destek sistemlerinden uzak kalmanın istismarla ilişkili olduğu ifade edilmektedir (58). Ailede çocuk sayısının yüksek olması, ebeveynlerin yaşlarının küçük olması ya da sorumluluk alacak olgunlukta olmaması durumunda, tek ebeveynli ya da boşanmış aileler ile sosyal desteğin zayıf olduğu aileler için risk daha fazladır.…”
