Resumo(s)
A Perturbação de Hiperactividade e Défice de Atenção (PHDA) é um diagnóstico frequente em crianças e adolescentes e tem sido alvo de diversos estudos focados sobretudo na sua vertente nosológica, etiológica e medicamentosa, inclusivamente no que se refere a factores familiares e sociais. No entanto, estão marcadamente ausentes da literatura estudos que ilustrem as experiências e vivências pessoais dos adolescentes com diagnóstico de PHDA. Assim, o presente estudo qualitativo exploratório visa recolher informação sobre as significações e atribuições de uma amostra de oito adolescentes com diagnostico de PHDA (n=8), relativamente à sua condição de saúde, factores familiares e intervenção clínica. Os dados foram recolhidos através de uma entrevista semiestruturada e analisados com recurso à análise temática (Braun & Clarke, 2006), com auxílio do software QSR NVivo11. Os participantes identificaram a escola, o desporto e os amigos como os principais factores associados ao bem-estar e identificaram a medicação e o isolamento como principais estratégias utilizadas para lidar com os sintomas de PHDA. Da análise dos resultados surgiram implicações para a intervenção clínica e familiar e para a investigação que serão discutidas, assim como as limitações inerentes ao estudo e sugestões de novas investigações na área.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a frequent diagnosis in children and adolescents and has been the target of several studies, although such studies tend to be mainly focused on its nosological, aetiological and medication aspects, including family and social factors. However, studies that illustrate the experiences and personal experiences of adolescents diagnosed with ADHD are markedly absent from the literature. Thus, the present qualitative exploratory study aims to collect information on meanings and nd attributions of a sample of eight adolescents diagnosed with ADHD (N = 8), regarding their health condition, family factors and clinical intervention. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview and analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), with the help of QSR NVivo11 software. Participants identified school, sports activities and friends as main factors associated with well-being perception. Participants also described medication and isolation as core coping strategies to deal with ADHD symptoms. From the analysis of the results, implications for clinical intervention and research emerged and are discussed, along the inherent limitations of the study and suggestions for further research.
