Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the behavioral characteristics of preschool children aged 5-6 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) comorbid with enuresis.
MethodsConner’s Parent Symptom Questionnaire and Digital Cancellation Test were used to investigate 42 children with ADHD(ADHD group), 36 children with ADHD comorbid with enuresis (ADHD+ NE group) and 48 normal controls.
ResultsIn the Conner’s Parent Symptom Questionnaire, the score of the conduct factors ((0.79±0.13), (0.83±0.50)), learning factors ((1.55±0.49), (1.92±0.62)), mind-body factors ((0.61±0.35), (0.67±0.22)), hyperactivity impulse factors ((1.96±0.48), (2.21±0.69)), anxiety factors((0.76±0.53), (1.02±0.58)) and hyperactivity indices ((1.57±0.14), (2.19±0.33)) in ADHD group and ADHD+ NE group were higher than those of the control group((0.59±0.39), (0.64±0.28), (0.35±0.74), (0.82±0.63), (0.51±0.40), (0.86±0.59), (all P<0.05)). The scores of learning factors, hyperactivity impulse factors, anxiety factors and hyperactivity indices in ADHD+ NE group were higher than those in ADHD group(P<0.05). In the digital cancellation test, the gross scores((52.37±1.48), (57.42±1.05))and net scores ((39.15±8.84), (38.99±5.72)) of ADHD group and ADHD+ NE group were lower than those in the control group ((89.40±7.82), (80.16±12.54))(均P<0.05). The error scores ((38.16±9.60), (40.59±9.28)) and error rate(0.40±0.27, 0.59±0.44)of ADHD group and ADHD+ NE group were higher than those of the control group ((14.01±5.32), (0.15±0.08))(all P<0.05). The error rate of ADHD+ NE group were higher than those of preschool ADHD group(P<0.05).
ConclusionThe behavioral problems of preschool children aged 5-6 years with ADHD comorbid with enuresis are more serious and anxiety is more obvious, which should be paid attention to.
