An adaptation of the Minds@Work intervention to improve quality of life at work for adults living with attention deficit disorder with/without hyperactivity (ADHD), following a group format.
In this study, the research team has developed a psychosocial group intervention specifically aimed at improving quality of life at work for ADHD workers. Work-related themes cover motivation, accommodations, problem solving, cognitive functions (i.e. attention and memory), hyperactivity and impulsivity, interpersonal interactions, and medication management.
The general objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of this new psychosocial intervention aimed at improving the quality of life at work of workers living with ADHD, using a randomized controlled trial design.
More specifically, the project will aim to:
Objective #1: Evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on the quality of life at work of workers living with ADHD (primary outcome).
Objective #2: Evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on secondary variables, namely the satisfaction of psychological needs, job satisfaction, well-being at work, self-esteem as a worker, occupational self-efficacy, cognitive functioning, self-compassion and the quality of the relationship with members of the workplace (secondary outcomes).
Our research team collaborates with the PANDA Les Deux-Rives association, which is a non-profit organization specializing in ADHD. The psychosocial intervention was co-designed, which allows the involvement of field stakeholders in all stages of the research. This involvement promotes the creation of a final research output that will meet the needs of the target population and that will be easily implemented in the organizational structures already in place.

| Change in Quality of Work Life as Measured by Quality of Work Life Questionnaire (QWLQ) Total Score | The QWLQ will be used to assess multiple dimensions of work-related quality of life, including work tasks, workplace environment and conditions, self-esteem as a worker, sense of belonging to a workgroup, and relationships with coworkers/supervisors. The questionnaire consists of 40 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = completely disagree to 5 = completely agree). Total scores range 40-200, with higher scores indicating greater perceived quality of work life. | Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Psychological Need States at Work Scale (PNSW-S) Score | The PNSW-S assesses satisfaction, frustration, and unfulfillment of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) in the workplace. The 37-item questionnaire uses a Likert scale, with higher scores (Min = 37, Max = 259) indicating greater psychological need satisfaction. The scale measures intrinsic motivation based on self-determination theory. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Professional Situation Assessment: Job Tenure and Strategy Implementation | A follow-up survey assessing two components: (1) job tenure status and (2) implementation of workplace strategies. Control group participants complete 2 items and intervention group participants complete 3 items to characterize their professional situation. Responses will track job retention and use of learned strategies in the workplace. |
