Objectives: Previous studies have indicated that caregivers of ADHD children consider this disorder to be a psychological burden on their lives in all its aspects: social, occupational, and financial. As a result, these caregivers are marked with psychological morbidities including stress, anxiety and depression. While there have been reports of ADHD in Lebanon, there are no studies in Lebanon or in the Middle East that measure the psychological burden of ADHD on caregivers or its association to mental health. Therefore, this study aims to inspect the psychological burden of ADHD and assess the variation in stress, depression, and anxiety among caregivers of ADHD children. Methods: The study involves 120 Lebanese caregivers, 48 of which are caregivers of ADHD children and 72 are those of normally developing children. Caregivers are presented with three scales to report: DASS-21, SDQ and a CAPPA-adapted survey. Results: After analyzing the responses, we can infer that caregivers of ADHD children worry, avoid outside activities with their child, consider their child to be a strain on their family, on their occupation, and on their finances more than caregivers of normally developing children with ORs= 15.8, 20.3, 3.5, 13, and 3.7 respectively. Moreover, more caregivers of ADHD children reported depression (58% vs 26%) and anxiety (31% vs 14%) with higher mean scores on DASS-21 (mean= 14.98+/-6.2, p<0.001) for depression and (mean= 15.67+/- 5.02, p<0.001) for anxiety compared with caregivers of normally developing children. ORs= 4.7 and 3.7 for depression and anxiety respectively. In addition, mental health seems to be positively associated with each of the psychological burden and severity of the child’s ADHD. And in turn, the caregivers’ psychological burden is also positively associated to the child’s ADHD severity. Finally, mental health seems to be discriminant in caregiver gender, where more mothers show depression (64%), anxiety (75%) and stress (68%) than fathers of ADHD children. Conclusion: This study affirms that caring for a child with ADHD impacts the mental health of caregivers and their lives. Therefore, there are strong grounds to contemplate ways to help such a vulnerable group of caregivers in the Lebanese population.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in the childhood period. In the children, the symptoms of this disorder are reluctance to tasks that require attention, disorganisation, losing things frequently, forgetting homework, restlessness, being unable to wait their turn and so on. Those children, who are hyperactive, impulsive and distracted, might experience severe problems in their relationship with their families, parents, peers and friends. Compared to the parents of normal children, the parents of children with ADHD, especially the mothers who play a more active role in child care, are more likely to suffer from stress, anxiety and depression in the course of time. Therefore, in order to protect family functionality and provide a healthy communication between the parents and the child, it is crucial to raise parents’, in particular mothers’, awareness on ADHD and its treatment for the evaluation of parents’ psychological state and referring them to a specialist, if necessary. Keywords: ADHD, child, mother, psychological problems, psychiatric nursing.

<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">This article intends to address intervention strategies for children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), with references to aspects of the Montessori Method, combined to ICTs. Furthermore, new technologies, based on the Montessori philosophy (such as robotics) address behavioral as well as multisensory approach to ADHD using the senses of vision, hear and touch. In addition, these interventions can also contribute to regulate the child’s social-emotional adjustment and learning engagement. Multiple intervention strategies implemented within home and school environment can be effective for students with ADHD.</span></p>
