The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a family-based mindfulness intervention in improving children with inattention and hyperactivity symptoms. A total of 100 children aged 5 to 7 years with ADHD symptoms and their parents were randomly assigned to a family-based mindfulness intervention ( = 50) or a wait-list control group ( = 50). Families from intervention group had greater improvements in children's ADHD symptoms, with medium effect sizes of -0.60 for inattention and -0.59 for hyperactivity; overall behaviors; and parenting stress and well-being than those in wait-list control group. The positive results on the child primary outcome measures have provided initial evidence of the family-based mindfulness intervention as a treatment option to ADHD. The reduction of parental stress and increase in psychological well-being has demonstrated the value of mindfulness in enhancing parent's self-management.
本研究旨在探讨基于家庭的正念干预在改善注意力不集中和多动症状儿童方面的可行性。共有 100 名 5 至 7 岁有注意力缺陷多动障碍症状的儿童及其父母被随机分配到基于家庭的正念干预组（n=50）或等待名单对照组（n=50）。干预组的家庭在改善儿童的注意力缺陷多动障碍症状方面有更大的改善，在注意力不集中方面的中等效应大小为-0.60，在多动方面为-0.59；整体行为；以及养育压力和幸福感均优于等待名单对照组。儿童主要结局指标的积极结果为基于家庭的正念干预作为 ADHD 治疗选择提供了初步证据。父母压力的减轻和心理健康的提高证明了正念在增强父母自我管理方面的价值。
