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. The program aimed to reduce parenting stress and improve children's problem behaviors and ADHD symptoms. The study consisted of two phases. In the
first phase, 10 parents of children with ADHD participated in a five-module online program covering psychoeducation about ADHD, parenting stress, managing children's problem behaviors, and enhancing executive function skills. Participants were assessed before and after the intervention on parenting stress, children's problem behavior, and
ADHD core symptoms. In the second phase, parents participated in a focus group to evaluate the program's acceptability. Quantitative findings showed improvements in children's problem behaviors, though results for parenting stress and ADHD symptoms were mixed. Qualitative results indicated parents experienced improvements across all three measures and found the program useful and effective in developing skills to manage their children’s issues and cognitive abilities. Overall, the program demonstrated potential for addressing the needs of parents of children with ADHD. These promising findings highlight the feasibility of expanding this intervention in a larger-scale study targeting families in a Colombian context.
