ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the intervention effect of the combination of medicine and education on teachers and parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods The students in Grade 1 to 3 of 6 public primary school (6～11 years old) were enrolled by stratified sampling method and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.All the students were screened for ADHD,and the children diagnosed with ADHD and their parents and teachers were enrolled into study as the research object.The children in the control group were given oral short-effect methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets and their parents underwent routine health education,while the parents and teachers in the experimental group were given both the routine health education and systematic training.Before and after training,the awareness rates of ADHD knowledge among parents and teachers were observed,and the clinical effects of two groups were compared.Results The control group included 71 children with ADHD,71 pairs of parents and 31 teachers,while the experimental group included 68 children with ADHD,68 pairs of parents and 34 teachers.The difference of general data between the two groups has no statistical significance (P＞0.05).Before intervention,there was no significant difference in awareness rate of ADHD knowledge among teachers and parents in the two groups (P＞0.05).After the intervention,the awareness rate of ADHD knowledge in teachers of the control group did not change obviously,while which in parents of the control group and the parents and teachers in the experimental group were significantly improved,and the improvement effect in the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The scores of the SNAP-Ⅳ scale in both groups were significantly decreased,and the scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The significant rate and total effective rates of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The intervention effect of combination of medicine and education on teachers and parents of children with ADHD is definite,which is worthy of further research.
ABSTRACT
Abstract?AIM:To study the Influence and outcomes of eye healthcare information teaching for the visual development of children under“combination of medicine and education” in kindergartens.?METHODS:The children(5-6 years old) were randomly selected from 6 kindergartens in Nanjing, 3 in Yuhua District as the experimental group, and the other 3 in Jianye District as the control group.A one-year follow-up was conducted to evaluate the difference of visual development, including the rate of low vision, rate of referral caused by refractive abnormality, rate of astigmatism, the average of the equivalent spherical lens and the rate of lacking physiological hypermetropia, between the experimental group and the control group children.?RESULTS:One school year later,the rate of low vision, rate of referral caused by refractive abnormality and the rate of astigmatism, were significantly lower (P<0.05)in the experimental group under the mode of“combination of medicine and education”, which were also lower than those before experiment(P<0.05).The average of the equivalent spherical lens of experimental group increased and the rate of lacking physiological hypermetropia decreased significantly, compared with the control group ( P <0.05 ) and with those before experiment(P<0.05).?CONCLUSION:Using “combination of medicine and education” eye health care model,is good for children's visual development,so as to reduce the rate of low vision and delay the occurrence of myopia.
