MARTINEZ-JAIME, Ma. Magdalena e REYES-MORALES, Hortensia. Pathway of access to an early diagnosis of attention deficit hiperactivity disorder (ADHD): A primary caregiver´s perspective. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.1, pp.80-86. Epub 28-Fev-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/10273.
Objective:
To evaluate the access of an early diagnosis of the ADHD and to identify its barriers by means of a trajectory of facts from perceiving the symptoms until obtaining the formal diagnosis.
Materials and methods:
An integral conceptual model has been used - based on four dimensions (perceive, search, arrive and use) - and centered on the patient; this has allowed to trace a trajectory of facts lived by the dyads (patient and their primary caregiver). The survey was composed of five open and 143 dichotomous or polytomous questions. 177 dyads participated.
Results:
Numerous barriers were identified to access the early diagnosis; the lack of perception of ADHD was key to initiate access.
Conclusion:
The lack of perception could be avoided with information to the caregivers so that they perceive the nuclear symptoms of ADHD as potential mental health problems.
