The Effect of Mindfulness-Based Group Intervention on Self-esteem and Social Problems in Students with Symptoms of Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

Quarterly Journal of Child Mental Health

Background and Purpose: Attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood and adolescence and problems related to selfesteem and social adjustment are common in people with this disorder. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based group intervention on self-esteem and social problems of students with symptoms of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder. Method: The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population consisted of all male students of 13-14 years old with symptoms of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder in nonprofit secondary schools in Rasht city during the academic year 2017-2018. Among the 127 students who accepted the invitation for research, youth self-report (YSR) of the Achenbach system of empirically-based assessment (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) was implemented. 30 students with high scores on the subscale of attention problems (T <65) were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The selfreport form of the youth self-report and the Cooper smith self-esteem questionnaire (1967) were used for data collection. Students in the experimental group received mindfulness-based intervention in 8 weekly sessions, each session for 120 minutes, but the control group did not receive the intervention. Results: Results of one-way covariance analysis showed that mindfulness-based group intervention significantly improved self-esteem (F = 12.59, P <0.001) and reduced social problems (F = 16.82, P <0.001) in students with symptoms of ADHD in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that mindfulness-based group intervention, by encouraging more positive and non-judgmental attitudes toward self and others, as well as by creating self-compassionate attitudes, have produced favorable changes in students' attitudes toward themselves and their communication styles.

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2021

The method of this research was semi-experimental and in terms of the purpose of the research, which was carried out using a pre-test, post-test design. 30 students from seven to 10 years of elementary school in Gorgan were selected as samples. In the pre-test phase, all participants completed the TGMD-3 motor development test and completed the Progress Motivation Questionnaire. Participants were then randomly assigned to TGFU and SDT groups. The training process was held for six weeks, twice aweeks for 90 minutes each week. After the end of the intervention, a post-test was performed. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups of TGFU and SDT in motor growth (P<0.001) and developmental motivation (P<0.036). Regarding the difference in mean, the TGFU group had better performance than the SDT group. Conclusion: Generally speaking, TGFU approach to SDT can improve motor development and stimulate the development of ADHD children.
