The purpose of this study was to develop an intervention program for decreasing inattentive and impulsive behaviors of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) by combining cognitive training and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Subjects were 22 children who were classified as ADHD. Eleven children among the 22 were placed randomly in the experimental group; the remaining 11 children were placed in the control group. The effectiveness of the program was analyzed by ANCOVA after controlling for effects of pre-tests on criterion variables. Results of the present study showed that the cognitive intervention program was significantly effective for improving attention span and decreasing impulsivity of children with ADHD.

본 고찰에서는 DSM-IV의 주의력결핍과잉행동장애(attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD)와 ICD-10의 과잉행동장애(hyperkinetic disorder, HKD)의 진단 체계를 비교하였고 그 차이점을 분석하여 임상 및 연구 측면에서 어떠한 의의가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 아직까지 DSM의 ADHD와 ICD의 HKD를 직접 비교한 연구들은 매우 부족한 상태이지만, DSM-IV의 ADHD가 ICD-10의 HKD 보다 광범위한 ADHD의 한 아형라는 것을 알 수 있었다. DSM-IV ADHD의 유병율은 ICD-10 HKD과 비교했을 때 더 높았으며 그 차이는 뚜렷했다. 이러한 결과가 DSM-IV 진단 알고리즘에서 부주의 우세형과 과잉행동-충동성 우세형이 포함되어 ADHD의 범위가 더욱 확장되어 나타난 것인지에 대해서는 아직까지 알 수 없다. 그리고 현재까지 진행된 연구들을 종합해 보았을 때, DSM-IV HKD와 DSM-IV ADHD가 질적으로 같거나 혹은 다르다고 주장할 수는 있는 충분한 근거는 없어 보인다. 다만 HKD가 보다 심한 형태의 ADHD의 한 아형일 가능성이 시사되고 있다. 그러므로 현재로써는 임상에서 환자를 진단하는데 있어 DSM-IV 혹은 ICD-10 중 일방에만 의존하여 ADHD/HKD 장애를 과다하게 진단 내리거나 혹은 실제보다 적게 진단내리는 것을 경계하여야 할 것이다. 특히 질병통계와 보험체계는 WHO의 ICD진단 체계에 맞춰져 있으나 대학이나 전공의 과정 중에는 주로 APA의 DSM진단 기준에 맞춰 학습하는 우리나라의 현실을 감안했을 때 과연 ADHD/HKD에 대한 진단율이 실제 유병율에 비해 과다한지 혹은 부족한지에 대해서도 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다. DSM-IV ADHD와 ICD-10 HKD가 진단적으로 얼마만큼 근접하고 있는지에 대해서는 주요 임상 변인과 endophenotype을 포함한 진단적 타당성에 대한 연구들이 더 진행되고, 관련된 가족연구와 장기 추적 연구들이 뒷받침 되었을 때 보다 명확해질 것으로 생각되며, 또한 ADHD/HKD에 대한 APA와 WHO가 보다 근접하고 일치되는 진단 알고리즘이 개발될 수 있을 것이라 예상된다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine whether children with Tourette disorder (TD) have functional impairment and executive dysfunction in comparison to children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and non-affected controls. Methods : From January 2006 to December 2013, 45 children and adolescents with TD and 50 children and adolescents with ADHD diagnosed at the Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital and 50 non-affected controls were enrolled in this study. Functional impairment of the subjects was assessed using the Child and Adolescents Functioning Impairment Scale (CAFIS), parent and teacher versions. In addition, neuropsychological tests including Stroop color-word Test, Finger windows Test (FWT), and Digit span were administered. Outcomes were compared across the TD, ADHD, and non-affected controls. Results : No difference in CAFIS-parent and CAFIS-teacher results was observed between children with TD and non-affected controls, whereas, children with ADHD showed more impairments relative to non-affected controls in the CAFIS-parent. According to the Stroop color-word Test, FWT, and Digit span, executive function in children with TD did not differ from non-affected controls. Children with ADHD had poorer performance in measures of the Stroop color-word Test compared to children with TD. Conclusion : Children and adolescents with TD but not ADHD were not significantly different from non-affected controls on most measures of functional impairment and executive function. These findings suggest that an education program and intervention for children with TD would be important to reducing the stigma of TD.

주의력결핍-과잉활동장애(ADHH)는 그 행동적 특징이 정상아동들간에도 흔히 나타날 수 있는 것으로 정상적 발달과정에서 나타나는 현상과의 구별이 어려운 경우가 있어 증상의 심각도를 양적수치로 평가하는것과 아울러 함께 각 연령별 규준에 비추어 판단하는 객관적 평가방법이 필요하다. 또한 ADHD의 증상은 상황에 따라, 그리고 사회적 맥락에 따라 나타나는 양상이 크게 다를수도 있어 가능한한 다양한 상황에서의 행동을 여러 평가자로부터 평가받아 이를 통합하는 과정이 필요하다. 구체적으로 부모 및 환아와의 면담, 각종 행동평가 척도, 행동의 관찰, 그리고 심리검사등 ADHD를 평가할 때 사용할 수 있는 방법 및 척도들이 논의되었으며, 평가의 목적에 따라 적절한 도구를 선택하여 활용하는 체계적이고 종합적인 평가의 중요함이 강조되었다.

주의력결핍 과잉행동장애(ADHD)는 소아청소년기에 흔히 나타나는 장애질환으로 초등학교 아동들의 교육적, 사회적 적응에 어려움을 불러일으키는 요인 중의 하나이다. ADHD 증상아동들은 다른 학생들과 함께 가르치는 교사들의 태도와 행동을 결정하는 요인에 대한 분석은 효율적인 통합교육을 위한 교육방법의 개선과 교사 교육을 위해 필요한 과정이다. 본 연구에서는 ADHD 아동을 경험한 적이 있는 227명의 초등교사 설문조사를 바탕으로 나이, 성별, 교직경력, 연수시간 등이 지식, 태도, 스트레스 및 교실에서의 통합교육 의지에 미치는 영향 정도를 살펴보고자 하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 5% 유의수준에서 성별은 스트레스에, 연수시간은 ADHD 관련지식수준에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그렇지만 ADHD 학생의 지도경험, 나이, 성별, 교직경력, 연수시간 등의 요인은 통합교육 의지에 별다른 영향을 미치는 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 결론으로 교사들의 정책적 지원요구사항도 간략히 요약하여 제시하였다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the level of quality of family life, parental locus of control, and parental sense of competence, and to elucidate factors that influence family quality of life in the mothers of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Method: A convenient sample of mothers from 6 child psychiatric clinics was used in this cross-sectional survey design. Questionnaires used for data collection included the following scales: Family Quality of Life, Parental Locus of Control-Short Form Revised, Parental Sense of Competence. Results: The level of family quality of life was mid-range. A positive relationship was found between Family Quality of Life and the research variables. The significant predictors of family quality of life were parental locus of control, parental sense of competence, and duration of medication and these variables accounted for 21.8% of the variance in family quality of life. Conclusions: These results indicate that family quality of life is an important factor which health care provider should assess and evaluate for children with ADHD and their families. The results of this study suggest that family quality of life is an important link with parental sense of competence and parental locus of control.

Objectives : Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Asperger's disorder (AD) in children are associated with attentional problems, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulties with social interactions. Pharmacological treatment may alleviate symptoms of ADHD, but seldom solves difficulties with social interactions. Social skills training (SST) may assist in improving their social interactions. We examined the effects of SST on children's social competences, general behavior, and ADHD symptoms. Methods : Thirty four children, aged 7 to 12 years, participated in the cognitive behavioral SST program once a week at the outpatient division of child-adolescent psychiatry. SST was composed of 24 sessions (ninety minutes) for 6 months. Twenty-five children were diagnosed with ADHD, and 9 children were diagnosed with AD. Parents of the children rated Korea-Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL), Conner's rating scales, Korean-ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS), Social Skill Rating System (SSRS), and Matson's Social Skill Rating Scale as an evaluation of the treatment effect, before the first session and after the final session of the training. Results : The ADHD group showed significantly increased scores of social and social competence of CBCL and SSRS. Further, scores of externalizing problems of CBCL, CRS, and ARS were significantly decreased. The Asperger's group showed significantly increased scores of social competence of CBCL, SSRS, and MESS. There was a significant difference of the improvement in CBCL's school and total behavior problem score, CRS between drug change group and no drug change group. Conclusion : The result of this study suggests that SST is effective in improving social skills for children with ADHD and AD. In addition, SST has shown its effectiveness in treating attentional problems for children with ADHD. To prove objective usefulness of SST, further studies with a more structured design and long-term duration along with a sufficient number of AD participants will be necessary.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the deficits in executive function in children with ADHD and anxiety disorder, and further, to characterize executive function deficits among the two groups. Methods : Subjects consisted of 60 children between the ages of 5 and 14 (16 Normal, 24 ADHD, 20 Anxiety Disorder). Neuropsychological tests (KEDI-WISC, CCTT, STROOP, WCST, ROCF) for assessing cognitive and executive function were individually administered to all subjects. Results : There were no significant differences in FSIQ or PIQ among the three groups. However, the ADHD group tended to score lower on the VIQ and subtest of similarity, vocabulary, and digit span tests. The three groups did not significantly differ with respect to CCTT test results. On the STROOP test, the ADHD group showed poor performance on the word, color, and color-word subtests. The three groups did not exhibit significant differences in WCST test results ; however, the anxiety group performed poorly belonging to below 25 percentile rank on perseverative response. On the ROCF test, the ADHD group performed poorly with respect to their organization score and in particular, regarding copy and immediate recall. The anxiety group also performed poorly with regard to organization ; however, this was limited only to immediate recall. Conclusion : Children with ADHD displayed poor inhibition and organizational abilities compared to children with anxiety and normal controls. Further, children with anxiety disorder exhibited low cognitive flexibility and voluntary problem-solving abilities compared to ADHD children and normal controls. Based on these results, we suggest that the characteristics of executive dysfunction in ADHD and anxiety disorder in children are different.

Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the mothers' rearing attitude of ADHD children and that of children with depressive disorder. Methods: The participant consisted of 58 school-aged children diagnosed as ADHD, 14 children diagnosed as depressive disorder based on DSM-IV criteria. Normal control group consisted of 34 school-aged children who are free of any diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, Parenting Style Questionnaire, Children's Depression Inventory, Marital Satisfaction Scale, Beck's Depression Inventory were administered to all children and their mothers. Results: The parents of ADHD children showed more aggressive/hostile, neglecting/indifferent and less warm/affectionate parenting styles to their children than those of the depression and control groups. The depressive group perceived their parents as more rejecting than the control groups. Conclusion: The externalizing symptoms of ADHD might provoke parental distress and make it difficult for the parents to show positive rearing attitude toward their children. The depressive children might be more sensitive and perceptive to the negative sign of their parents' rearing attitude.
