The relationship between psychological resilience and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) severity in Thai adolescents at Srinagarind Hospital

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN RESILIENCE AND SEVERITY OF ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) IN THAI ADOLESCENTS AT SRINAGARIND HOSPITAL

Psychological resilience was not significantly associated with ADHD severity, whereas satisfaction with peer relationships was identified as the only significant predictor of resilience.

The study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological resilience and ADHD severity in Thai adolescents and to identify other factors associated with resilience. In a descriptive cross-sectional design, 30 patients diagnosed with ADHD and their parents were assessed at Srinagarind Hospital between September 2021 and April 2022. The assessment instruments included the Resilience Inventory developed by Nintachan and colleagues based on Edith Grotberg's framework, the SNAP-IV Rating Scale for ADHD severity, and questionnaires assessing authoritative parenting, satisfaction with peer relationships, and stress. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multivariable analysis were used. Of the participants, 83.33% were male and 16.67% were female, with an age range of 14–17 years and a mean age of 15.07 (SD 0.98) years; 80.00% had the combined presentation and 20.00% had the predominantly inattentive presentation of ADHD, and the parents' mean age was 45.90 (SD 4.44) years. None of the correlations between resilience and ADHD symptom severity domains were significant (inattention subscale: r = -0.15, p = 0.44; hyperactivity and impulsivity: r = -0.22, p = 0.25; oppositional defiant symptoms: r = -0.29, p = 0.12). Examination of factors associated with resilience revealed significant positive associations with the number of close friends (p = 0.04) and satisfaction with friendships (p = 0.02), whereas authoritative parenting style (p = 0.10) and stress level (p = 0.13) were not significantly associated with resilience. In the multivariable linear regression analysis, satisfaction with friendships was the only statistically significant predictor of resilience (p = 0.02). In conclusion, resilience was not significantly associated with ADHD severity in this clinical sample; peer relationships play a key role in strengthening resilience, with satisfaction with peer relationships emerging as the primary predictor.
