Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based parenting education on general health and its components (physical symptoms, insomnia and anxiety, depression and social dysfunction) in parents with a child with ADHD. There was a lack of attention. For this purpose, a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design with a control group was used. The sample consisted of 30 parents of female elementary school students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups by purposive sampling. Both groups were assessed in the pretest using the Connors questionnaire along with clinical interview and general health questionnaire. Then, mindfulness-based parenting education program was applied to the experimental group for 8 sessions of 2 hours. Both groups were re-evaluated in the post-test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), multivariate analysis of covariance and showed that mindfulness-based parenting education led to a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). Between the pre- and post-test stages in the general score of general health and all its components including physical symptoms, insomnia and anxiety, depression and social dysfunction. Considering the effectiveness of using mindfulness-based parenting program in increasing the general health of parents with children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, teaching this program to reduce the stress of this group of people in the community is recommended.
