This study aims to describe and examine the relationship between social support and quality of life among adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Bangladesh.
A descriptive correlational design was conducted among 112 participants using a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using sociodemographic, social support, and quality of life questionnaires. Data were analyzed by using descriptive and Inferential statistics.
The participants' ages ranged from 10 to 16 years. Early adolescents (10-13 years) comprised 75%, and middle adolescents (14-16 years) comprised 25%, with a mean age of 12.23 ± 1.97 years. There was a statistically significant, strong positive correlation between social support and quality of life (r = .897, p = .000). More than half of the participants (58%) reported a high level of social support, and a similar proportion (55.4%) reported a good level of quality of life.
Social support is strongly positively correlated with the quality of life of the participants. The findings highlight the urgent need for targeted prevention, assessment, early diagnosis, treatment, and strengthened social and familial support systems to reduce ADHD related symptoms and complications to ensure a better quality of life among adolescents with ADHD.
