| Abstract: The primary objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an online behavioral and neuropsychological training program for parents of children with ADHD, aimed at reducing parenting stress and improving children's problem behaviour and ADHD symptoms. The study comprised two phases. In the first phase, 10 volunteer mothers and fathers with children with ADHD participated in an online program consisting of five modules covering psychoeducation about ADHD, parenting stress, managing children's problem behaviors, and enhancing executive function skills. Parents were assessed before and after the intervention using three measures: parenting stress, children's problem behaviour, and ADHD core symptoms. In the second phase, participants completed a focus group to evaluate the acceptability of the training program. Quantitative results indicated positive effects on children's problem behaviors, with mixed outcomes in parenting stress and ADHD symptoms. However, qualitative findings revealed that parents experienced improvements in children's problem behaviour, ADHD symptoms, and parenting stress. Participants also rated the program as useful and effective in enhancing their skills to manage their children's issues and cognitive abilities. These promising results suggest the potential for developing a large-scale study for parents of children with ADHD in a Latin American country. |
