Abstract

Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of The role of birth factors in predicting hyperactivity disorder in children.
Methods: Considering its purpose and application, this research was a case-control research, which is one of the types of descriptive-analytical and quantitative research methods. The statistical population includes hyperactive and normal male and female students of Ardabil city in the age group of 7-12 years old in 2022, from this population, 50 students with hyperactivity disorder were selected by available sampling method and 50 normal students were selected by purposive sampling and participated in this research. The final diagnosis is made by examining the information contained in the medical records of the students in the clinic and health center of Ardabil city and examining all the archived family files (birth weight, head circumference, premature birth, jaundice) and interviewing the mothers (parents). done. The data was also analyzed using audit analysis test.
Results:  According to the coefficients obtained from the diagnostic analysis, it was determined that hyperactivity disorder can be predicted based on the variables of birth weight, head circumference, premature birth and family history of hyperactivity, and finally, the diagnostic analysis model was able to predict hyperactivity Identify students correctly with a value of 90%.
Conclusion: Therefore, it can be said that the results of this research can be used by family and school counselors and psychologists, health and mental health caregivers, so that by using these results, they can play an important role in preventing this disorder.
