简要总结
Previous research has shown how parental responses can affect ADHD symptoms by triggering dysfunctional cyclic processes. Therefore, it may be useful within rehabilitative treatments to include parent training (PT). Recent literature data have demonstrated the potential of using virtual reality in the rehabilitation of children with ADHD. No study has been conducted on the use of virtual reality (VS) within a PT program. It is possible to hypothesize that virtual reality, by providing a controlled environment can help the parent improve his or her ability to self-control and perceive the child's difficulties. This allows the parent's empathizing skills to be implemented and reinforces the educational techniques learned during the parent training intervention.
详细描述
The investigators designed a single-blind, randomized, controlled study on ADHD patients and their parents, with the aim of evaluating the effects of virtual reality support during PT program compared to traditional PT sessions.

结局指标
主要结局
Parenting Stress Index
时间窗: Month 9
Parenting Stress Index is for the early identification of characteristics that may impair normal child development, such as emotional and behavioral disorders and parents who are at risk of living dysfunctionally in their role; Parenting Stress Index has 36 items based on a five-point Likert scale where each value corresponds to a specific statement (1 = completely disagree; 5 = completely agree). The subscale scores range from 12 to 60, and the Total Stress score ranges from 36 to 180. The higher the score, the greater the level of parental stress.
The World Health Organization Quality of Life
时间窗: Month 9
World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF consists of 26 questions. World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF has Likert-type scoring ranging from 1 to 5. As the score obtained from the sub-domains of the scale increases, the quality of life increases.
Conners Rating Scale
时间窗: Month 9
Conners: a questionnaire that asks about things like behavior, work or schoolwork, and social life. The Conners-3 Parent Rating Scale (Conners-3-P) is the most recent revision to a widely used behavior rating scale system. The Conners-3-P includes 5 empirically derived scales: Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, Executive Functioning, Learning Problems, Aggression, and Peer Relations.Respondents are asked to rate behavior that has been problematic over the preceding month using a four-point Likert scale labeled with both levels of appropriateness (e.g., "Not true at all" = 0), and frequency (e.g., "Very frequent" = 3).
