Abstract

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent mental disorder affecting children. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of ADHD in children with eye trauma.

Methods: This descriptive study included all children with eye trauma referred to the Zahedan Eye Hospital. Data collection employed an accessible sampling method, utilizing the standardized ADHD rating scale questionnaire.

Findings: Among the 73 participants, male gender (53.4%), urban residency (57.5%), and blunt trauma were predominant (65.7%). ADHD prevalence was 15.1%. No significant relationship was observed between ADHD and gender (p = 0.46), residency (p = 0.67), age (p = 0.67), maternal occupation (p = 0.9), maternal education (p = 0.75), and type of trauma (p = 0.9) in children with eye trauma.

Conclusion: ADHD is highly prevalent among children with eye trauma, with no association with these patients' demographic and clinical characteristics.
