Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of sandplay combined with sensory integration therapy on cognitive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:60 children with ADHD diagnosed in Baoji Maternal and Child Health Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were randomly divided into study group and control group.The children in the control group were treated by sandplay, while the patients in the study group were treated by sandplay combined with sensory integration.Results:There was no significant difference in Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) score, Combined Raven Test (CRT) results and attention test results between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in PSQ score of control group after treatment ( P>0.05); The behavioral problems (0.92±0.23), anxiety (0.51±0.26), impulse/hyperactivity (1.06±0.31) and hyperactivity index (0.88±0.14) in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group [behavioral problems (1.12±0.21), anxiety (0.79±0.45), impulse/hyperactivity (1.42±0.34) and hyperactivity index (1.16±0.17) ( P<0.05)]. There was no significant difference in the scores of mental disorders and learning problems between the two groups [(0.42±0.20), (1.28±0.44) vs (0.52±0.28), (1.37±0.48)] ( P>0.05). The results of CRT in the study group were (6.6±0.3, 7.3±0.2, 9.1±0.1, 5.5±0.2, 2.7±0.1, 117.3±4.4), which were higher than those in the control group (6.2± 0.1, 6.7±0.1, 8.7±0.1, 5.0±0.1, 2.2±0.1, 110.0±3.8) ( P<0.05). The slip time (52.4±0.1), error number (55.9±0.2) and missed report number (60.2 ±0.1) of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group [slip time (56.1±0.2), error number (60.3±0.1) and missed report number (70.8±0.3)] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Combination of sandplay and sensory integration can significantly improve the cognitive and behavioral abilities of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and improve the balance function of children, which is conducive to clinical application.
