Abstract(s)
A Perturbação de Hiperatividade e Défice de Atenção (PHDA) é uma perturbação do
neurodesenvolvimento, que se caracteriza essencialmente, pela manifestação de
sintomas como a desatenção, a hiperatividade e a impulsividade.
Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre estigma, relações de pares e
desempenho escolar percecionado pelos cuidadores de crianças com diagnóstico de
PHDA. Foi utilizada a metodologia qualitativa com recurso à entrevista semiestruturada,
tendo participado, neste estudo, dez pais de crianças com PHDA, com idade
compreendida entre os 5 e os 12 anos.
Os resultados revelaram que a maioria dos pais não percecionou estigma na vizinhança
em relação ao filho, embora metade dos entrevistados refira dificuldade em encontrar
cuidadores confiáveis. Em relação às relações de pares, metade dos inquiridos relata que
o filho tem pelo menos um amigo e apenas 2 referem que o filho tem pelo menos dois
amigos. A maioria dos pais defendem que as crianças com PHDA devem ser tratadas
como as outras, mas alguns consideram que devem ter medidas educativas adaptadas às
suas dificuldades. As dificuldades mais relatadas pelos pais estão relacionadas com a
concentração, com o planeamento e execução de tarefas e ainda, com o comportamento
desafiador. Estes resultados destacam a importância de combater o estigma, promover
relações saudáveis entre pares e a importância de desenvolver estratégias para melhorar
o desempenho académico destas crianças.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized mainly by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stigma, peer relationships and school performance perceived by caregivers of children diagnosed with ADHD. A qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews was used and ten parents of children with ADHD, aged between 5 and 12 years old, participated in this study. The results revealed that most parents did not perceive stigma in the neighborhood in relation to their child, although half had difficulty in finding reliable caregivers. Regarding peer relationships, most parents report that their child has at least one friend. Most argue that children with ADHD should be treated as others, but some consider that they should have educational measures adapted to their difficulties. The difficulties most reported by parents are related to concentration, task planning and execution, and challenging behavior. These results highlight the importance of fighting stigma, promoting healthy peer relationships, and the importance of developing strategies to improve the academic performance of these children.
