摘要
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine and compare family functioning in attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and ADHD comorbid with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or conduct disorder (CD) with control subjects. Method: Forty nine children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and forty eight controls (aged 8-16 years) were assessed with Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia Present and Lifetime Version; Parents completed the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) for family functioning which assesses 6 dimensions of family functioning (problem solving, communication, behavior control, affective involvement, affective responsiveness, and roles and also includes a general functioning subscale. Results: 34.7 % of the ADHD children had comorbid psychiatric disorders, and the major comorbidity was ODD (24.5 %). ADHD families scored high at the level of "unhealthy functioning" in the problem solving, roles, affective involvement, general functioning, and behavior control subscales of FAD. Besides, problem solving behavior and general functioning were significantly poorer than control families and they had more difficulties in area of roles. When DEHB was comorbid with ODD or DB, all areas of family functioning as measured by FAD were scored high at the level of "unhealthy functioning ". Additionally, general functioning and affective responsiveness were significantly poorer than ADHD without ODD or DB comorbidity. Conclusion: Recent studies revealed that ADHD and especially ADHD comorbid with ODD or DB may disrupt family functioning in many ways. In this study, the families of children and adolescents with ADHD and ADHD comorbid with ODD or DB had poorer family functioning in most of the subscales of FAD. Treatment of children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD especially comorbid with ODD or DB should include parental treatment and intervention addressing parental skills, and family functioning.
