Zusammenfassung

Ziel der Studie und Methodik Die Anwendbarkeit der etablierten ADHS-Verfahren für Erwachsene, ADHS-SB und Wender-Reimherr-Interview, im Senium wurde an einer Stichprobe von 324 Personen im Alter zwischen 60 und 99 Jahren überprüft.

Ergebnisse Die beiden Verfahren weisen für den Einsatz bei SeniorInnen eine geringere psychometrische Güte auf im Vergleich zur Anwendung bei Erwachsenen im jungen und mittleren Lebensalter. Es zeigt sich eine hohe Korrelation beider Verfahren mit der klinischen Beurteilung der Experten bei Personen im Seniorenalter.

Schlussfolgerung Als Ergänzung zur ausführlichen klinischen Exploration können die ADHS-SB und das WRI auch im Senium als valide Diagnoseinstrumente eingesetzt werden.

Abstract

Objective and Methods The aim of the study was to explore the psychometric properties of the ADHD self-rating ADHD-SR and the observer-rating Wender-Reimherr-Interview WRI for the assessment of ADHD symptoms in old age by using a sample of 324 subjects between 60 and 99 years.

Results In the sample of older people the psychometric properties of the ADHD-SR and the WRI were adequate. Evidence for construct validity is provided through the WRI. Results of logistic analysis’s showed a good discrimination of ADHD for both, the ADHD-SR (89.5 % correct classification; OR = 25.91) and the WRI (86.1 % correct classification; OR = 4.7); specificity ranged between 81 % and 94 %.

Conclusion The study shows that both, the ADHD-SR and the WRI, are reliable and valid as tools for the assessment of ADHD in older adults.
