Introduction. The aims were twofold: a) to compare the Peruvian pre-service teachers (PSTs) and in-service teachers´(ISTs) knowledge, misconceptions and lack of knowledge about ADHD, and b) to analyse the differences in knowledge, misconceptions and lacks of knowledge between ISTs with and without experience about ADHD. Method. Two hundred sixty four teachers completed the Knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorder Scale (KADDS), the Index of Teaching Stress (ITS), and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Results. Results showed that ISTs had more correct answers on total scale, on general information and on treatment sub-scales than PSTs. The PSTs had more lacks of knowledge on total scale than ISTs. The ISTs with experience about ADHD had more teaching stress, higher scores on self-efficacy and more accurate knowledge on total scale and on each sub-scale. In addition, ISTs knowledge correlated with post-grade education and years of experience. Self-efficacy correlated with experience about ADHD and years of experience. Discussion. The results are discussed in relation to teacher training.

The purpose of this study was to examine school nurses’ knowledge and beliefs about the management of children with attention deficit disorder (ADD). Seven hundred eighty-six school nurses responded to mailed surveys regarding their attitudes and knowledge about the management of children with attention deficit disorder. Surveys were mailed to school nurses randomly selected from the membership of the National Association of School Nurses. School nurses’ knowledge of school management of ADD and their attitudes about physicians’ participation as part of a team effort in this care were explored. School nurses responded that physicians should increase their efforts to educate children and parents about ADD. Recommendations for school nurses in the management of children with ADD are offered.

The strong recent public interest in attention deficit disorder and its drug treatment has led to the need for, and development of, guidelines for clinical practice. As a first step in this process our aim was to ascertain the current level of professional consensus on certain points regarding the use of medication in attention deficit disorder. Although a high level of consensus was found in relation to indications and prescribing issues, opinion was divided on details of how the treatment should be delivered – including the role of paediatricians, and the use of psychological treatments.

Hyperactive Children

The role of a child in his/her physical abuse was reviewed with particular attention to hyperactive children. A retrospective analysis of the records of children referred to a university-based hyperactive children's clinic revealed that children both with and without Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) were more often physically abused than children in the general population. The period prevalence of physical abuse in children with ADD did not differ significantly from that in children without ADD. This suggests that hyperactivity may either contribute to, or result from, physical abuse.
