Abstract
Background: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with the caregiver burden of children with ADHD in the Pediatric Psychiatric Clinic at Songkhla Hospital
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical descriptive study was conducted with data collected among 114 caregivers of ADHD patients. The questionnaire included: demographic data of caregivers, their children, and families; the Thai Zarit Burden Interview. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between factors and caregivers’ burden.
Result: The data revealed that 32.5% of caregivers experienced caregiver burden. The factor relating to caregiver burden statistically was the type of ADHD. However, caregivers with a high level of education and the absence of other children in the family requiring special care (eg, disabled, mentally retarded, special children, chronic illnesses) had a reduced caregiver burden.
Conclusions: The prevalence of caregiver burden of children with attention-deficit/Hyperactivity disorder in this study was 32.5%. The factors associated with caregiver burden were the type of ADHD (especially, impulsive/hyperactive type and combined type).
