Abstract

Students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are prone to poor career self-esteem. This research investigated the impact of a six-week virtual career intervention conducted in schools on the career transition self-esteem of Nigerian students with ADHD. Employing a quasi-experimental pretest-post-test design, 23 secondary school students with ADHD were divided into treatment and wait-list control groups. The intervention emphasized areas such as self-awareness, career exploration, and skill development. Data analysis was performed using Bayesian repeated measures ANOVA, which indicated notable enhancements in career transition self-esteem for the treatment group in comparison to the wait-list control group. The results underscore the significance of virtual career interventions in improving career transition self-esteem among Nigerian secondary school students with ADHD. This study also proposes avenues for future research to investigate the long-term effects of such interventions on the career transition experiences of students with ADHD.
