Abstract
Purpose
Based on eight research criteria, this study examines the feasibility of a 5-week Family Strength-Oriented Therapeutic Conversation (FAM-SOTC) for caregivers of adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); this intervention aims to improve outcomes of both caregivers and adolescents.
Design and Methods
The FAM-SOTC intervention was implemented at an adolescent psychiatric outpatient unit with 10 caregivers of 10 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. The feasibility criteria were addressed through survey responses, diary reports, and a one-group pre- and posttest quasi-experimental design.
Findings
The assessment of eight feasibility criteria showed promising results for the further evaluation of the intervention.
Practical Implications
This feasibility study has produced promising results, which represent a step toward a more extensive study, designed to evaluate a protocol that may offer educational and supportive programs for families of adolescents with ADHD, enhancing their self-management behavior. Further studies are warranted to test the FAM-SOTC intervention using a larger sample.
