Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Background:

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood neurobehavioral disorder impacting family dynamics.
  • Parental Management Training (PMT) is a key intervention to improve social and familial interactions for children with ADHD.
  • This study evaluates the efficacy of a PMT program on the parent-child relationship in families with ADHD children.

Observation:

  • An experimental study involved 40 parents of children with ADHD, divided into an intervention group (8 PMT sessions) and a control group.
  • Data were collected using a demographics questionnaire and the Parker's Bonding Instrument (PBI) at pretest, posttest, and follow-up.
  • Covariance analysis was employed to analyze the collected data.

Findings:

  • The PMT program demonstrated significant effectiveness in enhancing the parent-child relationship.
  • Specifically, the intervention led to a reduction in excessive parental support and an increase in the parent care index among parents of children with ADHD.

Implications:

  • The findings support the use of PMT programs as an effective intervention to improve parent-child relationships in families affected by ADHD.
  • This highlights the importance of targeted parental training for managing ADHD and fostering healthier family interactions.
  • PMT can be a valuable tool for mental health professionals working with families of children with ADHD.
