How do girls with ADHD experience their schooling? : Systematic literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: ADHD är den vanligaste neuropsykiatriska diagnosen bland barn. Flickor med ADHD riskerar att förbises i skolan eftersom deras symtom ofta är annorlunda jämfört med pojkars.

Syfte: Syftet är att synliggöra hur flickor med ADHD upplever sin skolgång.Metod: En systematisk litteraturöversikt genomfördes. Fyra vetenskapliga artiklar valdes ut genom systematiska sökningar i olika databaser. Materialet analyserades genom tematisk kvalitativ innehållsanalys och kategoriserades i fem teman.

Resultat: Flickor med ADHD beskriver sin skoltid som utmanande, med känslor av otillräcklighet, stress och psykisk ohälsa. Flickor upplever att deras svårigheter inte uppmärksammas, vilket leder till bristande stöd. Relationer till förstående vuxna och en trygg och anpassad skolmiljö beskrivs som avgörande för att skapa förutsättningar för lärande, ökad självkänsla och bättre skolresultat.

Konklusion: Ökad kunskap hos skolpersonal, tidig identifiering, samt individanpassat stöd utifrån flickors specifika symtom och behov är avgörande för att förbättra flickors skolupplevelser och välbefinnande.

Abstract [en]

Background: ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder among children. Girls with ADHD are at risk of being overlooked in school, as their symptoms often differ from those of boys.

Aim: To aim is to highlight how girls with ADHD experience their schooling.

Method: A systematic literature review was conducted. Four scientific articles were selected through systematic searches in various databases. The material was analyzed using thematic qualitative content analysis and categorized into five themes.

Results: Girls with ADHD describe their time in school as challenging, with feelings of inadequacy, stress, and mental health issues. Girls reported that their difficulties were not recognized, which lead to a lack of support. Relationships with understanding adults and a safe school environment were described as crucial for enabling learning, increasing self-esteem, and improving academic outcomes.

Conclusion: Increased knowledge among school staff, early identification and individually adapted support based on girls' specific symptoms and needs are essential for improving girls’ school experiences and well-being.
