Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the effects of combined mind and behavioral training program on attention in students of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants in the study were 6 students diagnosed with ADHD, who were studying at the junior high school level, obtained through purposive sampling. The students were medically diagnosed as a child with ADHD, and received parental consent to voluntarily participate in the study. The research methodology was of the one-phase embedded design. The instruments of the study were: 1) the combined mind behavioral training program on attention in students of ADHD, 2) Attention Network Test (ANT), and 3) behavioral assessment form, SNAP-IV (Short Form) for teachers and parents. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was employed in the analysis of data.
The research findings were as follows:
1) The ADHD children who had been given the combined mind and behavioral training program for attention improvement, had the attention after the experiment higher than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the .05 level.
2) After the training program, the ADHD children who had been given the combined mind and behavioral training program on attention, had their learning achievement after the experiment higher than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the .05 level.
3) The ADHD children who received the combined mind and behavioral training program on attention, had better behavioral expressions; naughty, impulsive, and anti-depressant behaviors were significantly lower than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the .05 level. This article also suggests applications of the research results in the research that may follow, and discusses the results of implementing the combined mind and behavioral training program in order for children to focus on learning and reduce undesirable behavior. This is a good way to help children with ADHD, to reduce the cost of other treatments as well as reduce the side effects of the drugs administered.
