This study explored the effectiveness of a family-based rugby programme to improve the parent-child relationship for children with ADHD and their parents.
A total of 17 Chinese families (12 fathers and 13 mothers) of children (in early primary grades) with ADHD participated in this study. Mixed methods, including questionnaires, parent focus groups, parental reflective journals, and interviews with children, were adopted.
Quantitative data suggested a trend of parental perceptual change on their children's ADHD behaviors. Thematic analysis on the qualitative data further suggested the family rugby programme served as "a family play context" that helped promote parent-child relationship for the Chinese children with ADHD and their parents. Participating children experienced "a different self" and better self-control when playing rugby.
There is a promising effect of the use of rugby as an alternative family-based approach for children with ADHD and their parents.
本研究旨在探讨基于家庭的榄球计划对改善 ADHD 儿童及其父母亲子关系的效果。
共有 17 个中国 ADHD 儿童家庭（12 位父亲和 13 位母亲）参与了这项研究。采用了混合方法，包括问卷、家长焦点小组、家长反思日记和对孩子的访谈。
定量数据表明，父母对孩子 ADHD 行为的认知发生了变化。对定性数据的主题分析进一步表明，家庭榄球计划作为“家庭游戏环境”，有助于促进中国 ADHD 儿童及其父母的亲子关系。参与的孩子在玩榄球时体验到了“不同的自我”和更好的自我控制。
使用榄球作为 ADHD 儿童及其父母的另一种基于家庭的方法具有很大的前景。
