Objectives: Mothers of children with Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD) often experience considerable psychological strain and difficulties in parent–child interactions. Given the limitations of conventional pharmacological and behavioral treatments in addressing parenting-related stress, this study examined the effectiveness of mindfulness-based parenting training on caregiver burden, parenting stress, and parent–child conflict among these mothers.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design with a follow-up phase. The statistical population consisted of mothers of 6–12-year-old children diagnosed with ADHD who attended child and adolescent counseling centers in Ardabil during the first half of 2025. Based on inclusion criteria (child’s ADHD diagnosis, residence in Ardabil, at least a high school diploma, absence of severe psychiatric disorders, and no concurrent psychological treatment), 30 mothers were purposively selected and randomly assigned to an experimental (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). Participants completed the Child–Parent Relationship Scale, Parenting Stress Index, and Caregiver Burden Inventory at pretest, posttest, and follow-up. The experimental group participated in eight weekly 90‑minute sessions of mindfulness-based parenting training based on Boggles and Restifo (2014), while the control group received no intervention.
Results: Significant effects of time, group, and time-by-group interaction were observed for caregiver burden, parenting stress, and parent–child conflict (p < 0.001). Scores in the experimental group decreased significantly from pretest to posttest and remained stable at follow-up.
Conclusion: Mindfulness-based parenting training effectively reduces caregiver burden, parenting stress, and parent–child conflict among mothers of children with ADHD.
