Abstract

This study aims to describe the quality of life in adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study used a descriptive quantitative method using the Quality-of-Life Inventory (QOLI). The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the majority of respondents were in the average quality of life category (67.5%), followed by high (15.0%) and low (12.5%) categories. These findings suggest that although adults with ADHD face various functional and psychosocial challenges, factors such as education, employment status, social support, and access to medication and therapy play a role in maintaining an average quality of life.
