Prevalence of anxiety symptoms among caregivers of children with ADHD attending pediatric and speech therapy departments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent mental diagnosis among children. This leads to a persistent pattern of hyperactivity and inattention that hinders functioning and development and places strain on parents. The goal of this study was to assess the incidence of ADHD symptoms in a pediatric population and to measure anxiety, depression, and the burden of caregiving in parents. METHODS: This study included 44 families with children who were monitored at King Hamad University Hospital's (KHUH) pediatric and speech therapy departments. In addition to sociodemographic questions, parents were required to complete scales including the parental ADHD diagnostic scale, the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED), anxiety (GAD7), depression (PHQ9), and burden of care (MCSI). RESULTS: 18% of the young people (n = 8) were formally diagnosed with ADHD. A regression analysis was performed on the population of those with ADHD, considering their sociodemographic traits and the outcomes of other scales. This revealed that children with ADHD and high scores on the SACRED questionnaire had a statistically significant relationship (p value of 0.012). The GAD-7 (p = 0.942), PHQ-9 (p = 0.671), and MCSI (p = 0.167) questionnaires, on the other hand, were not significantly related. The study revealed that although parents did not exhibit any increased level of generalized anxiety, depression, or burden of care, they were more anxious about their children's health. CONCLUSION: Parents of children with ADHD have more anxiety regarding their children's health, but they do not experience more depression, anxiety, or excessive caregiving burdens because their children have symptoms of ADHD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
