Effects of sand game therapy combined with drug intervention on the management ability of negative emotions and behaviors in school-aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Objective To observe the effect of sand game therapy combined with drug intervention on the management ability of negative emotions and behaviors in school-aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods A total of 120 pre-schooled children with ADHD treated in our hospital from June 2019 to January 2022 were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 60 cases in each group.Children in both groups were managed by drug intervention,and those in the observation group were additionally intervened by the sand game therapy.Symptom scores assessed by the Swanson,Nolan and Pelham Teacher and Parent Rating Scale-Ⅳ(SNAP-Ⅳ),emotional status assessed by the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders(SCARED)and the Depression Self Rating Scale for Children(DSRS-C),and behavioral management ability were compared before and after intervention between groups.Results After the intervention,the scores of confrontational behavior,hyperactivity-impulsivity,inattention symptoms,SCARED score and DSRSC score in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The attention quotient,control quotient,comprehensive control quotient and comprehensive attention quotient were significantly higher in the observation group than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Sand game therapy combined with drug intervention can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms and negative emotions of anxiety and depression,and improve the behavioral management ability of pre-schooled children with ADHD.
