“…Therefore, programs promoting academic strategies and time management skills should be implemented to help these students improve their academic performance and educational achievements. As in previous studies, working memory training or self-monitoring can be applied to support their learning [ 41 , 42 ]. In addition, our results indicate that these students should be encouraged to concentrate on their areas of interest, as this strategy might help them to better select and adapt to their future jobs.…”

BackgroundAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) persists into adolescence and adulthood; however, few studies have analyzed the experiences of university students with ADHD. This study explored the difficulties experienced by university students with ADHD symptoms.MethodsBetween December 2015 and February 2016, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 university students with self-reported ADHD symptoms. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsDifficulties in university life were classified into four main themes (lack of daily routine, unsatisfactory academic performance and achievement, reduced interpersonal skills, and continuing worries) and analyzed. University students with ADHD symptoms had difficulties coping with repeated cycles of negative thoughts and worries, irregular lifestyles due to poor time management, dissatisfaction with academic performance and interpersonal relationships, self-dissatisfaction, and decreased self-esteem.ConclusionTo improve their university experience, students with ADHD should receive education about ways to stop worrying, to express emotions healthily, and to manage time efficiently.

“…Thus, students with migraine should be evaluated for symptoms suggestive of ADHD, particularly hyperactivity symptoms. Solutions for students with symptoms of ADHD include self-monitoring (29) and to adapt exam settings for students suffering from these symptoms. Such an intervention is already in place in several universities, where students with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD or impulsivity do their exams in a different room so that they can stand up and move (30,31).…”

Objectives The aim was to evaluate the association of self-perceived levels of attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms with non-migraine and migraine headaches among university students. We also evaluated their association with migraine aura. Methods Study subjects were all participants in the internet-based Students Health Research Enterprise. Scores were built to evaluate global attention and hyperactivity symptom levels, self-perceived attention deficit levels and self-perceived hyperactivity symptom levels based on the Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1.). We used standardised questions to classify headache and group participants into “no headache,” “non-migraine headache,” “migraine without aura” or “migraine with aura”. Results A total of 4816 students were included (mean age 20.3 ± 2.8 years; 75.5% women). Compared with participants without headache, we found significant associations between global ADHD scores and migraine. Students in the highest quintile of global ASRS scores had adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.95 (95% CI 1.56–2.45) when compared to the lowest. This association was mainly driven by an association between self-perceived hyperactivity and migraine with aura. The aOR for migraine with aura was 2.83 (95% CI 2.23–3.61) for students in the highest quintile of hyperactivity. No significant association was found for any attention and hyperactivity symptom level measure and non-migraine headache and between self-perceived levels of attention deficit and migraine. Conclusions Among students in higher education in France, self-perceived levels of attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms were selectively associated with migraine. The association was strongest for the hyperactivity domain and migraine with aura.

“…Initial research efforts emphasized a coaching approach, addressing goal setting, organization, and time management (Prevatt & Yelland, 2015; Swartz, Prevatt, & Proctor, 2005). More recent investigations have examined the impact of treatment from a diverse array of therapeutic perspectives, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT; Anastopoulos & King, 2015; Eddy, Canu, Broman-Fulks, & Michael, 2015; LaCount, Hartung, Shelton, Clapp, & Clapp, 2015), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT, Fleming, McMahon, Moran, Peterson, & Dreessen, 2015), self-monitoring (Scheithauer & Kelley, 2014), and organization, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills training (LaCount, Hartung, Shelton, & Stevens, 2015).…”
