Parents' Knowledge of Preschool-Age Children About ADHD in Indonesia
Abstract
The emergence of attention-related problems is one of the indications of ADHD in preschool children. Early parental knowledge about ADHD can be a preventive aspect of the negative impacts that may arise. This study aimed to obtain qualitative data on Indonesian parents of preschoolers' general knowledge of ADHD, as well as their understanding of the symptoms of ADHD, and treatment/therapy for children with ADHD. The case study method used is the intrinsic case study. Six mothers of children between the ages of 3-5 participated in the study. Using open coding methods and NVivo software, the findings of semi-structured interviews were analyzed based on emerging themes. Several researchers were involved to complete the trustworthiness. The study's findings showed that there were still inaccurate perceptions and reluctance to look for information related to general knowledge, symptoms of ADHD, and treatment/therapy for children with ADHD. The findings show that a program is required to improve the knowledge of parents of children aged 3-5 about ADHD.
