Caregiver Burden of Children with ADHD [Title Slide]
Abstract
Background: Raising a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a key challenge for the primary caregiver. This systematic review aims to identify major burdens facing primary caregivers of a child with ADHD.
Methods: The electronic databases CINAHL, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published in English from 2017 to 2023 assessing the challenges facing caregivers of a child with ADHD.
Results: Eleven articles included in this review revealed that caregivers of children with ADHD have poor quality of life and high-stress levels. Supportive parenting programs can be effective for improved coping and adaptation mechanisms with children with ADHD.
Conclusion: Caregivers of children with ADHD can benefit from strategies to improve their quality of life and reduce their stress levels. Targeted parenting programs can positively impact the well-being of caregivers and children with ADHD.
Implications: Additional research is needed to address the evidence-based effectiveness of parenting support
