“…These findings are in correspondence with what has been pointed out in other investigations (Muñoz-Silva et al, 2017 ; Peasgood et al, 2016 ). The impact can be of such magnitude that it is proposed as a target for specific intervention (Peñuelas-Calvo et al, 2021 ).…”

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood disorder with an estimated prevalence of 5%. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention performed by primary care nurses on parents of children with ADHD. We recruited participants composed of parents and children between 6 and 12 years with ADHD. We conducted a two-branch randomized control trial. The intervention programme consisted of nine group sessions (5-12 parents) with a duration of 10 months. The primary outcomes were the attention tasks measured with the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) and the ADHD symptomatology. Forty-eight children were included in the study. The average age of the parents was 42.6 years (standard deviation, SD: 6.3), and of the children 10.1 years (SD: 1.9), 81.3% were boys. TOVA and the symptoms after the intervention showed no statistically changes in both groups. The intervention group showed more knowledge of ADHD (17.3 vs 11.5, p = 0.008) and knowledge of drugs (6.1 vs. 4.5, p = 0.005) than the control group after the intervention. A psychoeducational intervention performed by primary care nurses on parents of children with ADHD did not show any modification in the attention tasks, and only changed the knowledge of ADHD of the parents that received the intervention.

“…For instance, the prevalence of ADHD in children was 7.2% ( 7 ), that of ID was 1–3% ( 8 ), whereas that of LD was 3–8% ( 9 , 10 ). Of note, NDDs affect the health and social functioning of children, as well as imposes huge economic burden on families ( 11 , 12 ).…”

Application and research progress of machine learning in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders in children

The prevalence of neurodevelopment disorders (NDDs) among children has been on the rise. This has affected the health and social life of children. This condition has also imposed a huge economic burden on families and health care systems. Currently, it is difficult to perform early diagnosis of NDDs, which results in delayed intervention. For this reason, patients with NDDs have a prognosis. In recent years, machine learning (ML) technology, which integrates artificial intelligence technology and medicine, has been applied in the early detection and prediction of diseases based on data mining. This paper reviews the progress made in the application of ML in the diagnosis and treatment of NDDs in children based on supervised and unsupervised learning tools. The data reviewed here provide new perspectives on early diagnosis and treatment of NDDs.

“…The presence of a child with ADHD can create serious problems in the family system (Hetchman, 1981), and may adversely affect the parent-child relationship, especially in childhood (Epstein et al, 1983). In studies conducted with families of children with ADHD, high family stress (Norvilitis et al, 2002;Rogers et al, 2009) and low family functionality were detected (Börekçi, 2017;Churchill et al, 2018;Gökçen et al, 2011;Malkoff et al, 2011;Margari et al, 2013;Özyurt et al, 2015;Penuelas-Calvo et al, 2021;Scahill et al, 1999;Soysal et al, 2013;Uran & Kılıç, 2020). In the treatment of ADHD symptoms, the application of psychotherapy and psychosocial methods that include the family system as well as drug therapy prevents the child and other members from developing more serious problems (Aman, 2000;Hoza et al, 2000;Satterfield et al, 1987).…”

The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of a Structural Family Therapy (SFT)-based psychoeducation program on family functioning in families of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study was an experimental study based on the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test model, with experimental and control groups. Family functionality, which was the study's dependent variable, was measured with the Mc Master Family Assessment Device (FAD). The independent variable of the research was the psychoeducation program applied only to the experimental group. The research consisted of parents who have children between 7-10 years of age diagnosed with ADHD. An 11-week psychoeducation program developed by the researcher based on SFT was offered to the experimental group. Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests were used to analyze the data. The results obtained from the study found out a significant difference (p<.05) between the post-test scores of the control and experimental group. In addition, a significant difference (p <.05) was found between the FAD scores of the parents in the experimental group before and after the experiment. The results show that the SFT-based psychoeducation program for parents is effective in increasing family functionality.
