Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research is to determine the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AADHD) in university students yet continuing during the adulthood, which causes social, individual and mental problems in adults and to contribute to the studies conducted and to examine the relation of AADHD with some factors such as age, gender and class. Methods: 1247 students from Cumhuriyet University participated in this study. Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Self Report Scale (ASRS) Turkish Form as well as sociodemographic information form were filled by all the participants. Results: In total 1247 persons from 11 different departments, and between 18 and 35 years old, mean age 21.88±1.92, and 57.7% women while 42.3% men participated in this study. Mean ASRS scores in the participants were detected to be 27.74±8.96. Upon considering ASRS score over two standard deviations AADHD sign prevalence was detected to be 3.1% (39/1208) while ASRS score over one and half standard deviations, it was detected to be 6.6% (82/1165). AADHD sign prevalence was statistically determined to be lower in those persons presenting with psychiatric disease history compared to those other groups. Conclusion: This study revealed that AADHD signs could be frequently detected in university students and that it could be related to the presence of a psychiatric disorder story and parental attitudes.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, erişkinlerde sosyal, bireysel ve ruhsal alanda sıkıntılara neden olan erişkin dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu (EDEHB) belirtilerinin üniversite öğrencilerinde yaygınlığını belirlemek, bu alanda yapılan çalışmalara katkıda bulunmak ve EDEHB'nin yaş, cinsiyet, sınıf gibi bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerle ilişkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi'nden 1247 öğrenci katılmıştır. Tüm katılımcılar, Erişkin Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu Kendi Bildirim Ölçeği Türkçe formu (ASRS) ile Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu doldurmuştur. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 11 farklı bölümde okuyan, 18-35 yaşları arasında, yaş ortalaması 21.88±1.92 olan, %57.7'si kadın, %42.3'ü erkek toplam 1247 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılanlara uygulanan ASRS puan ortalaması 27.74±8.96 olarak bulunmuştur. İki standart sapma üzerindeki ASRS puanını dikkate aldığımızda EDEHB belirti yaygınlığı %3.1 (39/1208), bir buçuk standart sapma üzerindeki ASRS puanını dikkate aldığımızda %6.6 (82/1165) olarak bulunmuştur. Psikiyatrik bozukluk öyküsü olanlarda EDEHB belirtileri yaygınlığının diğer gruplara göre istatistiksel olarak daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışma EDEHB belirtilerinin üniversite öğrencilerinde sıklıkla belirlenebileceğini ve psikiyatrik bozukluk öyküsü varlığı, anne-baba tutumları ile ilişkili olabileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
