Abstract：
BACKGROUND: This survey study investigated the types of sources other than medical professionals (e.g., social media) that the caregivers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) use to acquire knowledge about ADHD and investigated the association between the use of such information sources and caregiver parenting stress and anxiety in Taiwan.
METHODS: A total of 213 caregivers of children with ADHD participated in this study. The sources that the caregivers used to acquire knowledge about ADHD other than medical professionals were investigated. Caregiver parenting stress was assessed using the Parenting Stress Index, and caregiver anxiety was assessed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. The associations of the types of sources used and total number of source use with caregiver parenting stress and anxiety were investigated using multivariate linear regression analysis.
RESULTS: The most common source of knowledge other than medical professionals was teachers (55.4%), followed by social media (52.6%), traditional media (50.7%), friends (33.8%), caregivers of other children (21.1%), and family members (18.3%). The caregivers\' mean total number of using sources of knowledge about ADHD other than medical professionals was 2.32. Acquiring knowledge about ADHD from social media was significantly associated with caregiver parenting stress. Additionally, acquiring knowledge about ADHD from caregivers of other children was significantly associated with caregiver parenting stress and anxiety, as was the frequency of using sources of knowledge about ADHD other than medical professionals.
CONCLUSIONS: The caregivers of children with ADHD acquired knowledge about ADHD from multiple sources. Acquiring knowledge about ADHD from social media was significantly associated with caregiver parenting stress. The number of sources of knowledge about ADHD was significantly associated with caregiver parenting stress and anxiety.

摘要：
背景：这项调查研究调查了医疗专业人员以外的来源类型（例如，社交媒体），患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童的看护人用于获取有关ADHD的知识，并调查了此类信息来源的使用与台湾看护人父母的压力和焦虑之间的关联。
方法：共有213名ADHD患儿的照顾者参与了这项研究。调查了护理人员用来获取医疗专业人员以外的ADHD知识的来源。使用育儿压力指数评估照顾者的育儿压力，使用贝克焦虑量表评估护理人员的焦虑。使用多元线性回归分析研究了所使用的来源类型和来源使用总数与照顾者育儿压力和焦虑的关系。
结果：除医学专业人员外，最常见的知识来源是教师（55.4％），其次是社交媒体(52.6%)，传统媒体(50.7%)，朋友(33.8%)，其他儿童的照顾者(21.1%)，和家庭成员(18.3%)。护理人员使用除医学专业人员外的ADHD知识来源的平均总数为2.32。从社交媒体获得有关ADHD的知识与照顾者的育儿压力显着相关。此外,从其他儿童的照顾者那里获得关于多动症的知识与照顾者育儿压力和焦虑显着相关，使用医学专业人员以外的ADHD知识来源的频率也是如此。
结论：患有ADHD的儿童的照顾者从多个来源获得关于ADHD的知识。从社交媒体获得有关ADHD的知识与照顾者的育儿压力显着相关。关于ADHD的知识来源的数量与照顾者父母的压力和焦虑显着相关。
