| description | Background: Executive functions are impaired in children with attention deficithyperactivity
disorder. One method to improve these functions is Compensatory
rehabilitation. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of compensatory
rehabilitation training on neuropsychological functions in preschool children
with attention deficit- hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms.
Methods: This is an experimental study by pretest, posttest and follow-up
design with control group. Thirty two (32) children with attention deficithyperactivity
disorder symptoms were selected using convenience sampling and
randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The neurological tests
included missing scan, day and night stroop, continuous performance test and
trial making test. In the intervention program, parents were taught how to use
effective strategies and skills to manage cognitive deficits in children, based on
Tameshk package. Data was analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance
(ANOVA).
Results: From the results of data analysis, compensatory rehabilitation had a
significant effect on working memory (P<0.00), inhibition (P<0.00, errors;
P<0.00, time) and shifting attention (P<0.01 errors in section A; P<0.00, time
section A) in children.
Conclusion: Compensatory rehabilitation utilizes skills and instructions
to improve cognitive functions in children. The current research showed
that training by compensation approach could improve neuropsychological
functions in children with ADHD. |
