The questionnaires were including general factors of caregiver and children and adolescents with ADHD and caregivers' caring ability of children and adolescents with ADHD. The statistics for analyzed data were including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, point biserial correlation, Spearman’s rank correlation and logistic regression analysis. Results: Caregivers' caring ability of children and adolescents with ADHD is at moderate rather high level (M = 279.78, S.D.=36.54). Caregiver’s gender, family income, medical condition, psychiatric condition, co-caring, and GPA of children and adolescents with ADHD are significant related to caregivers' caring ability of children and adolescents with ADHD at .01 and .05 statistic level.

Conclusion: Factors affecting caregivers'caring ability of children and adolescents with ADHD including female caregiver, income > 20,001 baht, having co-caring, and GPA. > 3.00. Regarding the caregiver's medical and psychiatric conditions, it is a factor that may decrease the ability to care for children and adolescents with ADHD.
