Abstract

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and executive dysfunction. While commonly associated with childhood, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder often persists into adulthood and poses significant challenges in various aspects of life, leading to negative self-perceptions, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of comorbid mental health conditions. There is a desperate need for more research about attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder from a Māori (Indigenous peoples of New Zealand) perspective. Considering the limited research, this article introduces the metaphor of the pīwakawaka (New Zealand Fantail) as a culturally grounded way of conceptualising attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder from a Māori perspective. The pīwakawaka’s characteristics, including its quick movements, curiosity, and ability to adapt to changing environments, mirror certain aspects of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

像皮瓦卡瓦卡(pīwakawaka)一样飘忽不定!对中年多动症诊断的个人反思,以及从毛利人视角出发的多动症概念框架初探
注意缺陷多动障碍是一种神经发育障碍,其特征是持续的注意力不集中、多动、冲动和执行功能障碍。虽然注意力缺陷多动障碍通常与儿童期有关,但它往往会持续到成年期,并在生活的各个方面带来重大挑战,导致消极的自我认知、生活质量下降以及并发精神疾病的风险增加。我们迫切需要从毛利人(新西兰土著人)的角度对注意力缺陷多动症进行更多的研究。考虑到研究有限,本文引入了新西兰扇尾(pīwakawaka)的隐喻,作为从毛利人的角度对注意力缺陷多动症进行概念化的一种具有文化基础的方法。pīwakawaka的特点,包括行动迅速、好奇心强和能够适应不断变化的环境,反映了注意力缺陷多动症的某些方面。
