Abstract
Objective This study aimed to examine the effects of online solution-focused brief family therapy (SFBFT) on the development of positive discipline skills among parents raising children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methods The participants were 12 families (24 parents) who met the inclusion criteria and had children diagnosed with ADHD. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 6 families (12 parents) in each. The instruments used included a Positive Discipline Skills Scale and an online SFBFT program consisting of 7 sessions, conducted twice a week for 60 minutes each. The intervention was structured in three phases: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up (4 weeks). Data was analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results The findings revealed that parents in the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher levels of positive discipline skills at both the post-test and follow-up phases compared to the pre-test phase, with statistical significance at the .05 level. Moreover, their scores were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusion Online solution-focused brief family therapy is an effective approach to enhancing positive parenting behaviors among parents of children with ADHD.
