Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders, and little attention has been paid to the parents and their experiences. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the Norwegian parents’ lived experiences of having a child with an ADHD diagnosis. A descriptive design using phenomenological approach was chosen as the research method. Individual qualitative interviews with nine parents, who were members of the ADHD Association, were conducted. The interviews were analyzed according to Colaizzi’s method. The essential structure of the parents’ experiences was Contending and Adapting Every Day—Windsurfing in unpredictable waters which was embedded in the interrelated main themes: Maintaining the Self and Parenthood, and Interacting With the Surrounding World. Being the parent of a child with ADHD is a demanding situation. Nurses need to address the needs of these parents and focus on the family unit.
