Child impact on family functioning: a multivariate analysis in multiplex families with children and mothers both affected by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Abstract: ADHD seriously impacts family functioning, even the more in families with simultaneous parental and child ADHD. The aim of the study was to examine associations between family impact of child ADHD and child, mother and family characteristics in multiplex families with children and mothers both affected by ADHD. One hundred and forty-four mother-child pairs were assessed (children: mean age 9.4 ± 1.7 years, 73.6 % male). Family impact of child ADHD was rated by mothers using the Family Impact Questionnaire (FIQ… Show more

“…(3) our sample was characterised by a restricted age range (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) as opposed to the larger age range (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) in [23]; (4) recruitment strategies differed (community sample vs. clinically based). The possible effect of these factors on the identified communities should be examined in future studies.…”

“…Most disorders can indicate multiple, only partially overlapping, symptom profiles that are likely to result from multiple independent mechanistic pathways [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A prominent example is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a diagnosis associated with multiple risk factors [3], a range of comorbidities [7], and various impairments [8,9]. Heterogeneity in ADHD is evident across multiple levels: from genetics [10] to neural systems [11,12], cognition [13][14][15], and clinical course [15].…”

“…First, it has been well-documented the strong relationships between family dysfunction and child ADHD ( Donenberg and Baker, 1993 ; Lange et al, 2005 ; Bauermeister et al, 2010 ; Sollie et al, 2016 ). High levels of parents’ disagreement experienced in regard to the child problems, low participation in social events, and high affectation of the family’s social life was related to high levels of child ADHD severity or/and conduct problems ( Shelton et al, 1998 ; Fleck et al, 2015 ). These family variables, in turn, can affect the parent–child interactions and increase the parental stress.…”

“…Following the approach of several researchers (e.g., Lange et al, 2005 ; Cramm and Nieboer, 2011 ; Solem et al, 2011 ; Fleck et al, 2015 ) we hypothesized that the family and contextual factors may mediate the relation between child ADHD severity and parenting stress. It thus may be the case that increased ADHD severity predicts higher negative impact on family and lower perceived social support, which may, in turn, be linked to higher levels of parenting stress.…”

“…2 Owing to early onset, lifelong persistence, and high levels of comorbidities and impairment associated with ADHD, 4 its negative impact on social outcomes, education, and the health of patients and their caregivers is substantial. 5 Understanding the risk factors for ADHD is an important public health matter.…”
