简要总结
This project apply curriculum of online programme materials and structure for mindful parenting and caregiving. It will include four modules (introductory mindfulness, mindful parenting, applying mindfulness in challenging moments, and advanced exercises for parents of children with special needs). Each module will include short psychoeducation videos and audio mindfulness exercises that can be used in various web-based or application-based platforms. A set of videos and audio exercises will be produced for the core program materials. One study of online mindful parenting program reported a low completion rate below 30%, showing the significance of weekly video or phone contact by professionals in program engagement. Although web-based or application-based mindfulness intervention have become popular, very limited effort has been developed for applying mindfulness in parenting and caregiving using technology. Only two published studies on online mindfulness-based intervention for parents are identified. Objectives of the study are: 1. Investigate the effects of online mindfulness-based intervention for parents of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. 2. Validate the protocol of the programme and explore the needs to make refinements of the programme based on the quantitative outcome and qualitative interview analyses

结局指标
主要结局
Parental stress
时间窗: Change from pre-intervention, to 1-month follow-up, and to 3-month follow-up
The Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF) will be used to measure parental stress (Abidin, 1995; Lam, 1999). A total of 36 items covers three dimensions parental distress, parent-child dysfunctional interaction, and difficult child. Parents will rate the items on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). Total score from 36 to 180. The higher the score, the higher the level of stress.
