Objective: Maternal functioning differences in parenting stress, parental efficacy, and parenting behaviors were examined for mothers of children with ADHD. Method: Participants included 29 mothers of children with ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type (ADHD-I) and 38 mothers of children with ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive or Combined Type (ADHD-HI/C). Results: Findings suggest that mothers of children with ADHD-HI/C reported significantly greater parenting stress and engaged in more negative parenting behaviors than mothers of children with ADHD-I. Conclusion: This study suggests that tailoring behavioral parent training based on ADHD subtype may be particularly helpful for parents of children with ADHD-HI/C.

Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of a mindfulness-enhanced behavioral parent training (BPT) group program compared to standard BPT in families of children with ADHD. Method: Parents ( N = 63) of children (aged 6–11) diagnosed with ADHD were randomly assigned to either mindful or standard BPT, and participated in 12 weekly 2-hr group sessions. Parents completed a series of questionnaires assessing mindful parenting, parenting stress, harsh discipline practices, behavioral dysregulation, and child ADHD symptoms, before and after completing the group intervention. Results: Parents in the mindful group had decreased harsh discipline practices and improved self-regulation compared to parents in the standard group. Both groups improved in parenting sense of competence and child ADHD symptoms. No significant group differences were found in mindful parenting or parenting stress. Conclusion: There are some important parental benefits to enhancing BPT with mindfulness.

Behavioral parent training (BPT) programs are the first-line interventions for childhood disruptive behaviors. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting these programs to telehealth modalities is necessary to ensure continued services to children and families. This study evaluates the use of telehealth versus in-person modality to deliver the Helping Our Toddlers, Developing Our Children’s Skills (HOT DOCS) BPT. The study design was quasi-experimental with two nonequivalent groups: in-person HOT DOCS ( n = 152) and internet-HOT DOCS ( n = 46). Participants were caregivers of children ages 2–5 exhibiting disruptive behaviors. Pre- and post-intervention outcome measures were collected for child disruptive behavior and parenting stress and post-test only for consumer satisfaction. Multiple linear and Poisson regression models were performed to assess the effect of class modality on the outcomes. Child disruptive behavior and parenting stress post-test scores for in-person and telehealth groups were not significantly different, even after adjusting for baseline characteristics. Consumer satisfaction scores were significantly more positive for the in-person group. The results of this study provide preliminary evidence for the i-HOT DOCS modality as being as effective as the in-person program. Study findings may be beneficial to practitioners utilizing telehealth interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic and onward.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas behavioral parent training untuk menurunkan stres pengasuhan pada ibu yang memiliki anak dengan ADHD. Desain penelitian ini adalah eksperimen kuasi dengan dua kelompok, kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 9 orang ibu yang memiliki anak dengan ADHD. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), modul Behavioral Parent Training, observasi dan wawancara. Analisis data menggunakan independent sample t-test. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa behavioral parent training efektif untuk menurunkan stres pengasuhan pada ibu yang memiliki anak dengan ADHD. Stres pengasuhan ibu menurun secara signifikan setelah mengikuti behavioral parent training. Hal ini berarti bahwa konten pelatihan behavioral parent training yang menitikberatkan pada peningkatan kemampuan ibu dalam mengelola stres dan peningkatan sumber daya, kompetensi ibu dalam menghadapi anak dan peningkatan persepsi ibu terhadap kemampuannya terbukti efektif.
