The treatment efficacy of multiple family therapy (MFT) for Chinese families of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has not been studied in the past. In this paper, the effect of MFT on different aspects of the lives of the parents in the experimental group (n = 61) was compared with the effect of only the psychoeducational talks on parents in the control group (n = 53). The results of a MANOVA have shown that by the time they reached the posttreatment phase, the parents who had completed the full 42 hours of the MFT program perceived their children's ADHD symptoms as being less serious and less pathological than they had originally thought compared to the parents in the control group. The effect of MFT on parent-child relationships, parenting stress, parental efficacy, hope, and perceived social support was statistically insignificant. Contributions and limitations of our study are discussed.
过去没有研究过多重家庭治疗(MFT)对中国注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)儿童家庭的治疗效果。在本文中,我们比较了实验组(n=61)中 MFT 对父母生活各个方面的影响和对照组(n=53)中仅对父母进行心理教育谈话的效果。MANOVA 的结果表明,到治疗后阶段,与对照组的父母相比,完成完整的 42 小时 MFT 方案的父母认为他们孩子的 ADHD 症状不那么严重,也不那么病态。MFT 对亲子关系、育儿压力、父母效能感、希望和感知社会支持的影响没有统计学意义。我们的研究的贡献和局限性进行了讨论。
