Abstract

Background: Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) run a high risk of behavioral problems. Their parents are also at risk of mental health and reduced quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of group mindfulness-based stress reduction on the parents of ADHD children and their mental health, quality of life, and behavioral problems. Methods: We conducted this single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial on 76 mothers with ADHD children aged 8-16 years referred to the clinics affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. We randomly divided the patients into intervention and control groups. Group therapy included eight 45-minute sessions in two months and a three-month follow-up. The employed instruments were Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-parent form (SDQ-P), General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and Health related quality of life-short form-36 (HRQOL-SF-36). We analyzed all data by SPSS, and P values less than 0.05 were statistically significant. Results: After the intervention, the overall mean score for GHQ-28 (P<0.01) and dimensions of HRQOL-SF-36 (P<0.01), physical (P<0.001), and mental health significantly increased (P<0.01) and SDQ-P decreased (P<0.01) in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Group mindfulness-based stress reduction was effective on mental health and quality of life in the parents of children with ADHD and could decrease child behavioral problems.
团体压力减轻对注意缺陷多动障碍儿童心理健康、母亲生活质量和行为问题的影响
背景:患有注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童有很高的行为问题风险。他们的父母也面临心理健康和生活质量下降的风险。本研究旨在探讨以团体正念为基础的压力减轻对ADHD儿童父母及其心理健康、生活质量和行为问题的影响。方法:我们对设拉子医科大学附属诊所的76名8-16岁ADHD患儿进行了单盲随机对照临床试验。我们将患者随机分为干预组和对照组。团体治疗包括在两个月内进行八次45分钟的治疗,以及三个月的随访。采用的工具为优势与困难问卷-家长表(SDQ-P)、一般健康问卷-28 (GHQ-28)和健康相关短生命质量量表-36 (HRQOL-SF-36)。所有资料均采用SPSS进行分析,P值< 0.05均有统计学意义。结果:干预后,干预组GHQ-28总分(P<0.01)、HRQOL-SF-36总分(P<0.01)、体质(P<0.001)、心理健康总分(P<0.01)、SDQ-P总分(P<0.01)较对照组显著升高(P<0.01), SDQ-P总分较对照组显著降低(P<0.01)。结论:群体正念减压对ADHD患儿家长的心理健康和生活质量有效,可减少儿童行为问题。
