This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD] is significant and growing (Pastor & Reuben, 2008). For example, the United States Census Bureau survey of medical issues reported that 4.5 million children, representing 7.8% of the population in the United States between the ages of 5 to 17, have been diagnosed with ADHD (National Health Interview Survey, 2006). Compliance in families with a child with ADHD has been a topic of research. A number of studies have specifically investigated medication compliance. It is reported that medication non-adherence can range from 20% to 70% (Stine, 1994). It is not only an issue for medication treatment. It is also reported that 51% do not complete behavioral interventions (Corkum, Rimer, & Schachar, 1999). It is hypothesized that compliance with mental health treatment would have a positive impact on the outcome of treatment for ADHD. Thus, improvement of compliance would be a sought after goal, and ways to achieve compliance would be a beneficial area of research. If a relationship between family functioning and compliance can be established, then interventions directed towards improving family functioning could impact treatment compliance. The focus of the current study is to determine whether there is a relationship between family functioning and compliance with treatment for a child with diagnosis of ADHD. The following research questions will be examined: 1. Is there a relationship between family functioning and treatment compliance as perceived by a parent for a family with a child diagnosed with ADHD? 2. Is there a relationship between family functioning and treatment compliance as perceived by a mental health professional for a family with a child diagnosed with ADHD? Participants were a sample of 63 families who have a child in the home with a diagnosis of ADHD. Both a mental health professional that provided services to the family and a parent/guardian evaluated the family's functioning by each completing the Family Assessment Device [FAD] (Ryan, Epstein, Keitner, Miller, & Bishop, 2005) on the family. The mental health professional also completed a treatment compliance inventory, specifically designed for this study. Significance was only found between the FAD subscale of behavior control and the treatment compliance inventory (p

Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorder, marked by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These symptoms contribute to difficulties with psychosocial functioning, often leading to feelings of inferiority. Several studies identify that those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have lower self-perceptions with risks for comorbidities and poor quality of life. However, few studies have attempted to provide interventions to increase the self-perceptions of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Most interventions for those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder focus on giving medications and implementing behavioral modification techniques to externally control behaviors. However, this scholarly project focuses on an internal approach of a social empowerment support group to provide insight or pattern recognition to motivate change or pattern transformation, aligning with Newman's Health as Expanding Consciousness Theory. By developing higher levels of understanding and interactions, those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will increase the perception of their ability to successfully navigate more complex challenges. The preadolescent participants of this social empowerment support group demonstrated increased self-perception scores after attending. Since attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is considered a chronic disorder and level of functioning determines life satisfaction, this scholarly project creates awareness of the importance for practitioners to assess self-perception of functioning and provide interventions that promote self-efficacy for ongoing improvement of functioning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the World Health Organization’s World Health Report 2001, one family in four worldwide has at least one member currently suffering from a mental disorder. This disorder often remains undiagnosed and untreated, but the behaviour of the ill person usually has a significant impact on the quality of life of the family and on the mental health of the other members of the family, and generates feelings of shame, guilt, helplessness and despair. This book provides a comprehensive picture of currently available evidence about the specific characteristics of the burden on the families of people with the various mental disorders, the coping strategies which increase or decrease this burden, the family interventions of proven efficacy, and what should be said and what should not be said to the relatives of people with the various conditions.
