Resumo
The
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
is a neurodevelopmental disorder provided
in the International C
lassification of Diseases (ICD) characterizing a continuing
pattern of attention deficit and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity with more intense and
higher rates than what presented by individuals at the same development level. This
dissertation was organized u
sing the models of scientific articles analyzing the results
from school performance by students of the
Colégio de Aplicação
(a school
maintained by a university) of the Federal University of Goiás, 7 to 14 age group with
and without ADHD diagnosis. Initia
lly, the prospective observational study to assess
comparative effectiveness involved 355 students and investigated the results from
school performance by 60 of them before and during
Methylphenidate
-
based
treatment
(MPH) and psychotherapy compared with th
e control group. The students
had their school performance and treatment adherence monitored for the first eight
months. The literature review on the theme is presented in the first article submitted
to the journal
“Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva”
(Journ
al of Science and Collective
Health), entitled “
Methylphenidate
-
based treatment and school performance by
students with
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
: integrative literature review”. The
review included scientific articles published from 2006 to
2013. Six hundred and
sixteen out of the 629 articles found did not meet the criteria for inclusion and 13
were part of the sample. Most of the studies emphasized that the group of children
with ADHD undergoing
methylphenidate
-
based treatment improved the
ir
performance compared with the group of children with ADHD with no records for the
treatment and stimulant
-
based therapies are more beneficial in the long term.
The
second article, entitled “Re/Assessment on the diagnosis of
attention
deficit/hyperactivi
ty disorder in students
” presents the results from the clinical
reassessment of 29 children previously diagnosed with ADHD or suspected ADHD.
The reassessment confirmed the diagnosis of 74% of the children previously
diagnosed and 70% of suspected ADHD. Th
e third article, entitled “The use of
methylphenidate
for students with
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and poor
school performance”
presents the major results of this study and proves that the use
of
methylphenidate
-
based treatment for students A
DHD was associated with
improved school records for basic mandatory disciplines
. The medication had
positive influence on school performance however even undergoing drug
-
based
treatment the students were not able to achieve the levels of performance by
stu
dents without ADHD with typical school performance.
