Brief Summary:
This study will investigate the effects of an online mindfulness-based intervention with a randomized controlled trial
Detailed Description:
In Hong Kong 39 of adolescents were diagnosed as having Attention DeficitHyperactivity Disorder ADHD The primary symptoms of ADHD include inattention hyperactivity and impulsivity which limit learning and socioemotional development ADHD has been associated with poor family functioning increased stress within the family higher rates of parental psychopathology and conflicted parent-child relationships More than 70 of children with ADHD experience improvements after treatment with psychostimulant medication but some children demonstrate side effects Behavioral interventions have been found to be effective in enhancing motivation and decreasing the disruptive behaviors of children with ADHD However some parents of children with ADHD experience high levels of stress and the childrens symptoms and reactions often complicate their application of the techniques taught in parent behavioral training programs Moreover while children benefit from behavioral training in short-term improvements its long-term effects are uncertain as children with ADHD cannot learn self-regulation without parental supervision In recent reviews and randomized controlled trials mindfulness-based intervention MBI has shown its benefits in improving ADHD symptoms and parents mental health Practitioners and researchers have collaborated to apply technology and convert face-to-face MBIs into online or app-based MBIs Our research team modified the ordinary MBI program structure by integrating short daily online psychoeducation videos with audio mindfulness guidance In view of the poor engagement and high dropout issues of many online programs our program is strengthened by incorporating four weekly real-time online meetings with instructors The content of MBI includes mindfulness and attention mindfulness and physical sensation mindfulness and parental stress and mindfulness and self-care The majority of the exercises are for parents but additional guidance for child-parent mindfulness exercises is included One module will target children with ADHD and the length of video and audio of mindfulness exercises for children This study will investigate the effects of an online MBI with a randomized controlled trial A total of 208 parents will be recruited and randomly assigned to online MBI and psychoeducation The effects of the MBI will be investigated in comparison with the effects of psychoeducation and outcomes on child ADHD symptoms parent mental health and family expressed emotions will be measured Immediate effect at post-intervention and 6-month follow-up maintenance effect will be investigated
