Abstract：
There is a lack of universal scales for tracking ADHD symptoms in the home for children/adolescents in the Sudanese context. For this reason, this study aimed to validate the ADHD Rating Scale-5 for Children and Adolescents, Home Version for use by parents in Sudan to assess their children for ADHD. This scale is widely used by parents to assess their children aged 5-17 years for ADHD in the home environment. The current study involved 3,742 Sudanese parents of school-aged children and adolescents, each asked to complete the instrument for one child in their family; only one parent per family participated in the study. The authors then examined the psychometric properties of the scale from the completed assessments. The results indicated acceptable to high reliability for the total scale and both the symptom and impairment items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated high external and construct validity when applying the scale to the Sudanese sample. the factor structure resembled that of the normative U.S. sample in terms of the number of extractable factors and the strength of factor loadings. Based on the results, this adaptation of the home version of the ADHD Scale-5 for Children and Adolescents is both valid and reliable for use by Sudanese parents in the home environment.
摘要：
在苏丹背景下，儿童/青少年家庭中缺乏追踪ADHD症状的通用量表。出于这个原因,这项研究旨在验证儿童和青少年多动症评定量表-5，供苏丹的父母使用，以评估他们的孩子的多动症。该量表被父母广泛用于评估5-17岁儿童在家庭环境中的ADHD。当前的研究涉及3,742名苏丹学龄儿童和青少年的父母，每个人都要求为家庭中的一个孩子完成该工具；每个家庭只有一位父母参加了这项研究。然后，作者从完成的评估中检查了量表的心理测量特性。结果表明，总量表以及症状和损害项目的可靠性均可接受。将该量表应用于苏丹样本时，探索性和验证性因素分析显示出很高的外部效度和构造效度。在可提取因子的数量和因子载荷的强度方面，因子结构类似于美国规范样本。根据结果,这种改编的儿童和青少年ADHD量表-5家庭版对于苏丹父母在家庭环境中使用既有效又可靠.
