Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of self-esteem in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) over time. The study has a qualitative retrospective design. We drew on data from a broader qualitative retrospective study that explored adolescents’ experiences living with ADHD. From the data of eight adolescents, we performed a narrative analysis to explore the phenomenon of self-esteem. The three narratives of adolescents with ADHD reflect (a) using their strength to overcome difficulties, (b) access to arenas for coping and achievements, and (c) being surrounding by significant others. From a resilience perspective, this study shows that adolescents can develop positive self-esteem through transformative processes sustained by protective factors. These factors are essential to promote positive self-esteem from adolescence into adulthood. We suggest that professionals working with adolescents with ADHD focus beyond their deficits and notice adolescence’s strengths when supporting them in school and everyday life.

崛起和闪耀:探索被诊断为注意力缺陷/多动障碍的青少年的自尊叙述

摘要本研究旨在探讨注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）青少年自尊的生活经历。该研究采用了定性回顾性设计。我们利用了一项更广泛的定性回顾性研究的数据，该研究探讨了青少年患有多动症的经历。从八名青少年的数据中，我们进行了叙事分析，以探索自尊现象。关于患有多动症的青少年的三种叙述反映了（a）利用自己的力量克服困难，（b）进入应对和取得成就的舞台，以及（c）被重要的他人包围。从复原力的角度来看，这项研究表明，青少年可以通过保护因素维持的变革过程发展积极的自尊。这些因素对于促进从青春期到成年期的积极自尊至关重要。我们建议，与患有多动症的青少年合作的专业人员在学校和日常生活中支持他们时，要超越他们的缺陷，注意青少年的优势。
