简要总结
The current study aims to investigate the feasibility and preliminary clinical effects of a blended psychological intervention targeting emotion dysregulation in adults with ADHD.
详细描述
Adults with ADHD with co-occurring deficits in emotion regulation are expected to have more severe impairment than those without such deficits in several life domains. Both pharmacological and psychological treatment interventions for adults with ADHD tend to target core symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, and there are few available interventions targeting emotional symptoms. The current study aims to investigate the feasibility and preliminary clinical effects of a blended psychological intervention targeting emotion dysregulation in ADHD. The intervention consists of eight face-to-face group sessions and a companion app to be used by the participants between the sessions for skills training. The investigators seek to recruit between 15 to 20 adults with ADHD to participate in the pilot study. Feasibility outcomes include adherence, treatment satisfaction and treatment credibility. Self-report questionnaires assessing emotion dysregulation, ADHD symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression will be used to examine preliminary clinical effects. There will also be conducted qualitative process interviews to examine the participants expectations and experiences with the program. The investigators expect the intervention to be feasible and to find positive preliminary effects. The findings from the study will be of importance for to further improve the intervention for for a future randomized-controlled trial.
