This study was the first attempt to explore the efficacy of a mindfulness protocol for children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and their parents. Fifty male children with ADHD and ODD diagnosis, aged 8 to 12, were randomly assigned to the mindfulness intervention ( = 25) or the wait-list ( = 25) group. Outcome measures included children, parents', and teachers' reports and objective measures of attention. Children from the intervention group had a greater reduction in hyperactive behaviors in the school context (effect size [ES] = 0.59) and a greater improvement in visual sustained attention (ES = 0.77) and in Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire scores (ES = 0.43) than those in the wait-list control group. No significant effect of the intervention on aggressive behaviors was revealed. A mindfulness intervention for children and their parents showed partial beneficial effects in children with ADHD + ODD.
这项研究首次尝试探索正念方案对患有注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）和对立违抗性障碍（ODD）的儿童及其父母的疗效。50 名年龄在 8 至 12 岁之间的患有 ADHD 和 ODD 诊断的男性儿童被随机分配到正念干预组（=25）或候补名单组（=25）。结果测量包括儿童、父母和教师的报告以及注意力的客观测量。干预组的儿童在学校环境中多动行为的减少幅度更大（效果量[ES] = 0.59），视觉持续注意力（ES = 0.77）和回避与融合问卷评分（ES = 0.43）的改善幅度更大，而候补名单对照组的儿童则没有明显的改善。干预对攻击性行为没有显示出显著的效果。儿童及其父母的正念干预对 ADHD+ODD 儿童显示出部分有益的效果。
