چکیده

مقدمه و اهداف
اختلال کمبود توجه-بیش فعالی یک اختلال عصبی و ارثی است که در بزرگ‌سالی از بین نرفته و به‌عنوان یک بیماری مهم شناخته می شود. این اختلال به‌خصوص در دانشجویان مبتلا مشکلات بسیاری در زمینه‌های عاطفی، اجتماعی، تحصیلی و شغلی ایجاد می‌کند. هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی میزان علائم بیش فعالی و نارسایی توجه بالغین در دانشکده های علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی بود.
مواد و روش ها
گروه نمونه 230 نفر از دانشجویان دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی بود که به شیوه نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. اطلاعات آزمودنی‌ها توسط پرسش‌نامه دموگرافیک و پرسش‌نامه کانرز جهت تعیین ADHD در بزرگ‌سالان جمع‌آوری شد.
یافته‌ها
میزان شیوع کلی ADHD با نمره ≤T55، 31% و با احتساب نمره ≤T65، 8.9% به دست آمد. میزان ADHD در زیر مقیاس C (نشانه‌های کلی بیش‌فعالی/کم‌توجهی‌) با فراوانی 29% در نقطه برش ≤T55 و 9.5% در نقطه برش ≤T65دارای بیشترین فراوانی بود. زیرمقیاس D (شاخص بیش‌فعالی/کم‌توجهی) با فراوانی 26.8% در نمرات تی بالای 55 و زیرمقیاس A (کم‌توجهی‌-مشکل حافظه) در نمرات تی بالای 65 با فراوانی 7.8% دارای کمترین فراوانی بودند.
نتیجه گیری
با توجه به میزان قابل‌توجهی از این اختلال در بین دانشجویان به نظر می رسد که غربالگری دانشجویان دارای این اختلال و نیز بررسی بیشتر در جهت کمک به بهبود عملکرد و روابط آنها ضروری باشد.

چکیده [English]

Background and Aim: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is an inherited neurological disorder which has not disappeared in adulthood and is known as an important disease. This disease especially causes a lot of emotional, social, educational, and employment problems in students. So, the present study was conducted to examine the symptoms of ADHD in adults at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran.
Materials and Methods: The sample was 230 students at Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, selected based on convenience sampling method. All the participants filled out a demographic questionnaire and the Conners questionnaire to determine their Adult ADHD.
Results: The overall prevalence of ADHD was 31% with the score ≤T 55 and 8.9% with the score≤ T65. The level of ADHD in the subscale C (Nshanhhaykly hyperactivity/inattention), with a frequency of 29% for cut-off point ≤T 55 and 9.5% for cut-off point ≤ T65, had the highest frequency.
Conclusion: Due to the significant amount of this disorder in the students, it seems that screening programs should be considered among students. Also, further investigations are necessary in order to help improve their performance and relationships.
