Brief Summary: Adults with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD experience poor occupational performance at work compare to adults without ADHD manifested at tendencies toward unemployment job instability work accidents and sickness absences This poor occupational performance at work may be partly caused by difficulties at executive functions EF abilities and at the ability to set and attain goal directed work-activities at a satisfactory manner Therefore improvement at those abilities may followed by occupational performance at work enhancement of adults with ADHD Such improvement may enhance adults with ADHD quality of life

Despite the wide-ranging implications of poor occupational performance at work of adults with ADHD treatments which focus at this component improvement among adults with ADHD are lack

The Metacognitive ADHD Telehealth intervention for Work-performance Enhancement Work-MATE is an innovative program that aim to improve occupational performance at work of adults with ADHD by enhancing their EF abilities self-awareness and personal strategy use

This program was established based on existing fundamental models and approach 1 The World Health Organizations international classification of functioning disability and health ICF WHO 2001 2 Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance model Baum Christiansen Bass-Haugen 2015 3 The Dynamic Interactional Model of cognition DIM Toglia 2018 and the Multicontex approach Toglia 2018 which based on the it and 4 Telehealth as service-delivering model

The Work-MATE aim to promote self-awareness and self-generation of personal strategies and increase efficiency strategy use across meaningful purposeful everyday work activities ie goal directed work-activities It is a short synchronous and hybrid teleintervention program of eleven 1-hour weekly individual sessions focused directly on occupational performance at work enhancement of adults with ADHD
Detailed Description: Research Aim

To develop and evaluate effectiveness of Metacognitive ADHD Telehealth intervention for Work-performance Enhancement Work-MATE of adults with ADHD

Hypotheses

The study sample n46 includes adults with ADHD after confirmation of inclusion and exclusion criteria and symptoms consistency of ADHD Participants enrolled randomly into two groups

1 Group A n31- received treatment immediately after the first assessment
2 Group B n 16- was reassessed 10-11 weeks after the first assessment the length of the treatment process and then received treatment

Both groups were reassessed at the end of the treatment second assessment for group A and third assessment for group B An additional assessment was performed three months after the end of treatment

The hypotheses are presented in three stages

Stage 1

1 A comparison of the characteristics of study groups A and B participants as a preliminary stage to their unification as one group n46

Hypothesis 1 Differences will not be found in the demographic and occupational characteristics of participants when assessed using demographic and occupational questionnaires and the ADHD characteristics using the Brown Attention-Deficit Disorder Scales BADDS
2 To examine the change in group B n 16 prior to treatment

Hypothesis 2 Differences will not be found between assessment 1 and assessment 2 before the treatment in the following variables

2 a EF abilities- measured by Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult version BRIEF-A 2 b occupational performance at work- evaluated by performance and satisfaction with performance scores as measured with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure COPM

2 c Quality of life- evaluated by Adult ADHD Quality of Life Questionnaire AAQoL

2 d Organization in time ability- evaluated by Time Organization and Participation Scale TOPS

2 e ADHD characteristics- evaluated by BADDS questionnaire

Stage 2 Effectiveness of the Treatment

1 Examination of the effectiveness of the treatment process within both study groups A and B n 46 before and after treatment and three months after its completion

Hypothesis 3 Differences will be found in both study groups research and comparison before and after treatment and after a follow-up assessment three months later regarding

3 a EF abilities- measured by BRIEF-A 3 b occupational performance at work- evaluated by performance and satisfaction with performance scores as measured with the COPM

3 c Quality of life- evaluated by AAQoL 3 d Organization in time ability- evaluated by TOPS 3 e ADHD characteristics- evaluated by BADDS questionnaire
