 Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder in adults often occurs with problems related to executive functions such as working memory. The present study was conducted in 2016 to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation training on the working memory of adults with ADHD.

 This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population included all students aged 20-40 years with ADHD in Islamic Azad University, Zanjan Branch in 2021. The sample consisted of 24 students who were selected by purposive sampling and randomly divided into two groups of experimental (n = 12) and control (n = 12). Research instruments including demographic questionnaire, hyperactivity rating scale with adult attention deficit Barclay (2011) and Wechsler memory test (1941) were used. Cognitive rehabilitation training consisted of 18 software training exercises and 12 manual exercises (pencil-paper) focusing on memory, attention, inhibition, and mind-reading, which were presented to the experimental group in 15 sessions of 45 minutes. The collected data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS (version 24) software.

 The results showed that cognitive rehabilitation training on working memory had a significant effect on verbal learning, visual memory, repetition of numbers, and logical memory in adults with ADHD with attention deficit in the experimental group compared to the control group (P <0.05).

 The results showed the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation training on the working memory of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Therefore, clinical psychologists and therapists can use cognitive rehabilitation along with other treatments to improve the working memory of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The aim of this study was to determine the predictability of the PLS-SEM model for injuries resulting in hospitalization in motorcyclists using a mediator variable in a case-control study.
 

In this case-control study, 300 cases and 156 controls were randomly selected from 150 clusters using random cluster sampling. The data were collected using the motorcycle riding behavior (MRB) questionnaire, adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) questionnaire (subscales) and a checklist containing motorcycle related variables.
 

The motorcycle riding behavior, adult ADHD, motorcycling related variables and some demographic variables were found to be the predictors of injury. There were significant positive relationships between injury and motorcycling related variables (B=0.20, P=0.001) and ADHD (B=0.33, P=0.001), between MRB and motorcycling related variables (B=0.51, P=0.001) and ADHD (B=0.52, P=0.001), and between ADHD and motorcycling related variables (B=0.39, P=0.001).
 

Considering the more accurate results of PLS-SEM, the intervention programs should especially address those who have hyperactive children, those who use the cellphone while riding, and those who ride in dark hours of the night.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by three main features, namely attention deficit, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of self-control strategic training on self-compassion and emotion regulation in adults suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Khorramabad.

This research used a quasi-experimental method of pretest-posttest follow-up with a control group. The sample consisted of 30 men with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Khorramabad selected by available sampling and randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups. The experimental group received the self-control strategies for ten sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the project. The data were collected using Barkley Adult ADHD-IV Rating Scale (BAARS-IV), the self-compassion scale (SCS), and emotion regulation scale (ERS). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance.

The results indicated that there were significant differences with regard to self-compassion and emotion regulation between the subjects of the experimental and control groups.

Self-control strategies training provides useful applied practices in the treatment and prevention of ADHD disorder in adults.

In last years, various non-pharmacological treatments have been developed for the treatment of adulthood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) syndrome. Most of these non-pharmacological treatments have targeted common areas of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, such as educational problems, work, interpersonal relationships, and executive functions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in improvement the main symptom of attention deficit disorder / ADHD and depression and anxiety, self-esteem with it in students. For this purpose, in a quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test and control group, 30 students (12 female, 18 male) with hyperactivity diagnosis were selected by the method of targeted sampling and divided into two groups: experimental and control group (Each group was 15 subject). Subjects were tested for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem before and after intervention and one month after the end of the sessions. The experimental group received a cognitive-behavioral intervention for 8 sessions of 90 minutes (2 sessions per week). The results of mixed multivariate analysis of variance (intragroup-intergroup analysis) showed that cognitive-behavioral group therapy is effective to improve the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder syndrome, increasing self-esteem and decreasing depression and anxiety of students with hyperactivity disorder.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is an inherited neurological disorder which has not disappeared in adulthood and is known as an important disease. This disease especially causes a lot of emotional, social, educational, and employment problems in students. So, the present study was conducted to examine the symptoms of ADHD in adults at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran.

The sample was 230 students at Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, selected based on convenience sampling method. All the participants filled out a demographic questionnaire and the Conners questionnaire to determine their Adult ADHD.

The overall prevalence of ADHD was 31% with the score ≤T 55 and 8.9% with the score≤ T65. The level of ADHD in the subscale C (Nshanhhaykly hyperactivity/inattention), with a frequency of 29% for cut-off point ≤T 55 and 9.5% for cut-off point ≤ T65, had the highest frequency.

Due to the significant amount of this disorder in the students, it seems that screening programs should be considered among students. Also, further investigations are necessary in order to help improve their performance and relationships.
