Abstract

The aim of
this study is to evaluate the differences in aggression patterns in subtypes of
ADHD. A total of 326 boys with ADHD and aggressive behaviors were included.
Mean age of the patients was 9.95±2.03 years. Aggressive behaviors were found
to be significantly higher in ADHD+CD group, when compared to ADHD type and
ADHD+ODD in all evaluation scales used. ADHD+ODD is more related with verbal
aggressiveness, but ADHD+CD is generally related with more severe aggressive
behaviors. ODD may predict the progression to more severe aggression and a
diagnosis of CD in patients with ADHD.

Keywords

Saldırganlık Tüm DEHB´li Erkek Çocuklarında Aynı Biçimde midir?

Abstract

Bu
çalışmanın amacı, DEHB alt tiplerinde saldırganlık biçimindeki  farklılıkların değerlendirilmesidir. DEHB
olan ve saldırgan davranışları olan toplam 326 erkek öğrenci çalışmanın
örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Çocukların yaş ortalaması 9.95 ± 2.03
şeklindedir.  Saldırgan davranışların
DEHB + DVB grubunda, kullanılan tüm değerlendirme ölçeklerinde DEHB ve DEHB +
KOKGB tanı grupları ile karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu
saptanmıştır. DEHB + KOKGB, sözel saldırganlık ile daha fazla ilişkilidir,
ancak DEHB + DVB genellikle daha şiddetli saldırgan davranışlarla ilişkilidir.
KOKGB+ DEHB'li hastalarda görülen saldırgan davranışlar ciddi olarak ele
alınmalıdır çünkü DVB tanısını yordamada önemli bir noktadır.
