QUALITY OF LIFE AS CRITERION FOR REHABILITATION EFFICIENCY IN CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT AND HYPERACTIVITY SYMPTOMS

Abstract

Aim. To assess the dynamics of the quality of life in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms (ADHS) against the background of complex rehabilitation including hypoxihypercapnic training with respiratory simulator “Carbonic”. Materials and methods. Sixty three children (aged 10-15 years) diagnosed ADHS were divided into 2 randomized groups: the main group - 33 children receiving the basic rehabilitation complex with addition of hypoxihypercapnic training by means of respiratory training simulator “Carbonic”, the comparison group - 30 children receiving the basic rehabilitation complex alone. The quality of life was assessed by means of PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire before and after treatment. Results. Before treatment, the lowest quality of life was noted by the scales “Emotional State” and “Communication”. After treatment, there was statistically significant increase in the values by the scales “Emotional State” (by 43,1 % ( p < 0,05) in main group and by 20 % ( p < 0,05) in comparison group), “Communication” (by 67,2 % ( p < 0,05) in main group and by 31,8 % ( p < 0,05) in comparison group), “School” (by 17 % ( p < 0,05) in main group and by 12,9 % ( p < 0,05) in comparison group). Conclusions. After the course of rehabilitation including hypoxihypercapnic training with respiratory training simulator “Carbonic”, a reliable positive dynamics in the quality of life indices such as “Emotional State”, “Communication”, “School” was fixed. In the comparison group, there was also noted a reliable dynamics of these indices, but it is less significant than in the main group.
