Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Chinese Children with ADHD and Their Parents: a Pilot Mixed-Method Study

Effects of a mindfulness-based intervention (MYmind) for children with ADHD and their parents: protocol for a randomised controlled trial

“… 39 One pilot study with pretest and post-test without control was conducted among 11 Chinese children with ADHD and their parents (n=11). The preliminary results of this study were promising, and the intervention was well accepted by participants 40 although the findings were limited by the small sample.…”

“…Based on previous studies, 33–35 39 the study with the biggest sample size so far (n=22) using MYmind mindfulness training for children with ADHD and their parents by van der Oord and colleagues 33 showed an effect size of 0.80/0.59 in children’s inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, and our pilot study showed a large effect size of 1.35 in the attention score of the Sky Search subtest of TEA-Ch. 40 60 For the active control group, we would design the programme mainly with reference to the suggestions according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines 48 and the content would not cover any attention training. Therefore, we assume the effect size of the active control group on the primary outcome would be small.…”

Mindfulness for children with ADHD and Mindful Parenting (MindChamp): Protocol of a randomised controlled trial comparing a family Mindfulness-Based Intervention as an add-on to care-as-usual with care-as-usual only

“…The first trial on an MBI for children combined with Mindful Parenting was conducted by Bögels et al (2008) [ 64 ], which resulted in the MYmind training. Since then, several non-randomised pilot studies have been conducted with the MYmind training in child and adolescent samples with ADHD [ 54 , 55 , 65 – 67 ] and with ASD [ 68 , 69 ]. Findings are promising and show that the MYmind training is feasible and acceptable [ 70 ].…”

“…In addition, significant effects were found for set-shifting [ 53 ]. A pilot pre-post-intervention study with a family MBI in children aged eight to twelve years ( n = 11) found significant improvement with large effect sizes on objective attention tests, but not on parent ratings of self-control on the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) [ 54 ]. In contrast, in a quasi-experimental trial with ten adolescents (aged 11–15 years) following a family MBI, self-control assessed with the BRIEF improved significantly at 8-weeks follow-up, but only according to father reports and not mother reports [ 55 ].…”
