Attention deficit-hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is the most common behavioral disorders during childhood whose treatment is greatly dependent on families; therefore, families of such children should improve their relation with them so that they could enjoy their lives. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Barkley's family-oriented program on the burden of care on such families.
This clinical trial was conducted among 64 family care givers for children with ADHD. By simple sampling, samples passing the inclusion criteria were selected and randomly allocated into two groups of control and intervention. The intervention group received Barkley's family education program through 9 sessions; the control group participated in 3 group sessions and expressed their problems and experiences. Data were collected and analyzed using the Zarit Burden Interview.
Burden of care was gradually reduced through the study in the intervention group, however, the mean score of burden of care did not have a significant reduction in the control group.
Because Barkley's family-oriented program was able to reduce the burden of care in families of children with ADHD, it is recommended to develop similar programs and evaluate them through various studies.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是儿童期最常见的行为障碍，其治疗在很大程度上依赖家庭；因此，这类儿童的家庭应改善与他们的关系，以便他们能够享受生活。因此，本研究旨在评估巴克利以家庭为导向的项目对这类家庭护理负担的影响。
本临床试验在64名ADHD儿童的家庭照顾者中进行。通过简单抽样，选择符合纳入标准的样本并随机分为对照组和干预组。干预组通过9次课程接受巴克利家庭教育项目；对照组参加3次小组会议并分享他们的问题和经历。使用Zarit护理负担访谈收集和分析数据。
干预组在研究过程中护理负担逐渐减轻，然而，对照组的护理负担平均得分没有显著降低。
由于巴克利以家庭为导向的项目能够减轻ADHD儿童家庭的护理负担，建议开发类似项目并通过各种研究进行评估。
