Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to design and validation of mother's self-regulation program and its effect on parenting stress of mothers with children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research method is considered to be fundamental and applied in terms of its purpose, and it is a combination-exploratory research. The research method in the quantitative part was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the research in this section included all mothers aged 30-45 with children suffering from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Tehran in 2022. The sample size consisted of 30 mothers (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) from the statistical population were selected by available sampling method and placed in two groups of control and experimental. For the experimental group, a mother self-regulation program was implemented, while the control group did not receive any training. The research instruments included the Parenting Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). Data analysis was done using analysis of variance with repeated measures in spss software version 26. The results showed that self-regulation intervention had a significant effect on parenting stress in the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.01).
