SYNOPSIS

Objective. Typical parenting programs require considerable time inputs, which can be a significant barrier to program access. Here we assessed whether a brief behavioral parenting program, 1-2-3 Magic, would be effective in reducing disruptive behavior and ADHD symptoms in school-aged children with ADHD and dysfunctional parenting in their parents. Design. Fifty-seven parents of children aged 6–12 years were randomly allocated to the treatment group (n= 28) or waitlist-control group (n= 29). Treatment-group parents participated in the 1-2-3 Magic group program over three consecutive weeks. Treatment-group data were collected at pre-, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up, and control-group data were collected at pre- and post-intervention, with child and parental behavior change assessed using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, Parent Stress Index, and Conners. Results. Parents in the treatment-group reported less child disruptive behavior, reduced child ADHD symptom severity, and less dysfunctional parenting at post-intervention compared with controls. Post-intervention results indicated that the major intervention effects were maintained at the 6-month follow-up. Conclusions. Findings provide preliminary treatment efficacy for this brief behavioral parenting intervention for school-aged children with ADHD and their parents.

概要

客观的。典型的育儿计划需要大量时间投入，这可能是获取计划的重大障碍。在这里，我们评估了一个简短的行为养育计划，1-2-3 Magic，是否能有效减少患有 ADHD 的学龄儿童的破坏性行为和 ADHD 症状，以及他们父母的养育功能失调。设计。57 名 6-12 岁儿童的父母被随机分配到治疗组（ n = 28）或候补名单对照组（ n= 29）。治疗组家长连续三周参加了 1-2-3 魔术组计划。在干预前、干预后和 6 个月的随访中收集治疗组数据，在干预前和干预后收集对照组数据，使用 Eyberg 儿童行为量表评估儿童和父母的行为变化、家长压力指数和康纳斯。结果。与对照组相比，治疗组的父母在干预后报告较少的儿童破坏行为，减少儿童 ADHD 症状的严重程度，以及较少的不正常的养育方式。干预后的结果表明，主要的干预效果在 6 个月的随访中得以保持。结论。 研究结果为这种针对多动症学龄儿童及其父母的简短行为养育干预提供了初步治疗效果。
