简要总结
This study is a randomized ,Parallel group ,active controlled trial designed to evaluate the EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAY BASED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTION ON QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER .Prior to the initiation of the study, ethical approval will be obtained from the Institutional Review Board of Chettinad University Hospital CHRI, CARE. Before enrolling each child, written informed consent will be obtained from the parents or legal guardians, and age appropriate assent will be obtained from the children. A total of 50 children aged 5 to 10 years diagnosed with ADHD will be recruited from the Occupational Therapy Department of Chettinad Hospital and Clinics, located in Chengalpattu District. Participants will be selected using a convenience sampling method. Initial screening will be conducted using the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale to confirm the diagnosis and eligibility according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After confirmation of eligibility and completion of consent procedures, the participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group consisting of 25 children and a control group consisting of 25 children. Before the commencement of the intervention, a baseline (pre-intervention) assessment of quality of life will be conducted for all participants using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. This assessment will provide information on the physical, emotional, social, and school functioning of the children. The experimental group will receive a structured play-based occupational therapy intervention, which includes figurine-based simulation activities combined with sensory integration techniques. These activities will be designed to enhance attention, self-regulation, participation, and functional performance in daily activities. The intervention will be administered for a duration of 4 weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes, conducted three days per week.During this intervention period, the control group will continue with their routine care and will not receive any additional intervention from the researcher. At the end of the 4-week intervention period, a post-intervention assessment will be carried out for both groups using the same standardized tool, namely the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. The pre- and postintervention scores obtained from both the experimental and control groups will be statistically analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the play-based occupational therapy intervention in improving the quality of life of children with ADHD.
