PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a parenting program applying CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) on parenting behavior, parent satisfaction, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) symptoms perceived by mother of children with a tendency to ADHD. METHODS: The study was a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 21 mothers in G city who have children with a tendency to ADHD. The mothers received the parenting program applying CBT for 2 sessions a week over 4 weeks. Data were collected from December, 2011 to January, 2012 and analyzed using paired t-test with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. RESULTS: After attending the parenting program applying CBT, significant differences were found between pre and post test in parenting behavior (t=-2.16, p=.043) and ADHD scores (t=2.38, p=.027). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the parenting program applying CBT is an effective nursing intervention to improve mothers' parenting behavior and decreasing ADHD symptoms perceived by mother of children with a tendency to ADHD. However a quasi-experimental research design with control group is necessary. |
