Abstract
Aims and method: To truly understand the efficacy of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) psychoeducation, we need to know what is commonly included in it. This scoping review aims to describe the content of psychoeducation interventions for ADHD in published research. A literature search was conducted to identify relevant papers. Descriptions of psychoeducation aimed at children, parents/carers, adults and teachers were identified and compared narratively. Results: After screening, 57 papers were identified for data extraction and coding. Content themes included ‘information about ADHD’; ‘practical advice’; ‘impact of ADHD’; ‘treatment of ADHD’; ‘co-occurrence’; and ‘self-image/self-esteem’. ‘Information about ADHD’ and ‘practical advice’ were the most common themes, with variance on inclusion of other themes. Most of the identified research involved psychoeducation for parents of children with ADHD. Clinical implications: This review provides greater understanding of the content and delivery of ADHD psychoeducation. Further research could use this understanding to ascertain the efficacy of different content themes in supporting those with ADHD.
