Efectos de un tratamiento cognitivo-conductual en niños con trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad,agresivos y no agresivos. Cambio clínicamente significativo
Este estudio investingó la eficacia de una intervención cognitivo-conductualpara reducir losproblemas de conducta e incrementar la adaptación social y el rendimiento académico de niños con trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad(TDAH). Treinta y dos niños con TDAH, con y sin manifestaciones de agresividad asociadas, siguieron un programa de entrenamiento en autoinstrucción, solución de problemas y control de la ira, que incluyó también un sistema de puntos con refuerzo positivo y costo de respuesta. Los resultados señalaron que los niños con TDAH que siguieron esta terapia mostraron mejoras significativas en las valoraciones que los padres y los profesores hicieron de su funcionamiento conductual. No obstante estos cambios positives fueron superiores en el subgrupo sin agresividad, fundamentalmente según la percepción de los padres. Además, los análisis de cambio clínicamente significativo pusieron de manifiesto que fue menor el porcentaje de niños con TDAH y agresividad que lograron la recuperación o un cambio fiable.
