Abstract
Background: The Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobehavioral childhood problem with negative impacts on child and parents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a nursing intervention program on stress and competence of parents of ADHD children. Subjects M child-related, parent-related, and total PSI (p<0.001). ADHD improved among 78% after the intervention (p<0.001). Statistically significant negative correlations were found between the scores of parents’ satisfaction, competence, and PSOC from one side and each of the child-related, parent-related, PSI, and ADHD scores. In conclusion, the implementation of an educational intervention to the parents of children with ADHD is effective in improving their parenting satisfaction, efficacy, and PSOC, with reduction in their stress, and improvement of child abnormal behaviors. Recommendations: It is recommended to apply the developed program in the study settings for more improvements. The school health team needs to be trained in screening and early detection, with counseling clinics for parents of ADHD children.
