This study sought to determine the effectiveness of compassion-based therapy on post-traumatic growth in mothers of children with ADHD. Method: This study was a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design. The sample of this study included 20 mothers with children with ADHD in Isfahan city in 2017 who were selected by purposeful sampling and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using the Tedeschi and Calhoun scale (1996). Participants in the experimental group received a compassion-based therapy in 8 sessions of 90 minutes, whereas the control group received no intervention. For analyzing the data, covariance analysis was used. Results: The results showed that the method of compassion-based therapy improved the sense of internal power and change in goals and priorities of life, while it had no effect on the feeling of proximity and intimacy with others and trying to maintain relationships with others. (p <0.05). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that compassion-focused therapy can be used to manage, organize and prioritize activities in mothers of children with ADHD. 467 Special Comparison of the Effect of (Child-oriented and Teacher-oriented) Educational Methods on the Motor Skills Development of Children Kardan Fatemeh Qadiri Farhad Department of Sport Management and Motor Behavior, Faculty of Physical Education, University of Kharazmi, Tehran, Iran Department of Sport Management and Motor Behavior, Faculty of Physical Education, University of Kharazmi, Tehran, Iran 1 4 2019 6 1 251 264 18 04 2018 04 08 2018 Background and Purpose: Basic motor skills are the basis of advanced sports skills which should be considered in pre-school and primary school ages. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of (child-oriented and teacher-oriented) educational methods on the motor skills development of children. Method: This was a causal- comparative research. The statistical population of the study consisted of all kindergarten children in Kashan in 2013-2014. In this study, 78 children (49 girls and 29 boys, aged 5-7) were selected from three kindergartens by cluster sampling in two stages. They were divided into two child-centered and teacher-centered groups based on educational approach. In the teacher-centered group, the instructor conducted his activities based on a common and systematic program; whereas in the child-centered group, the center coach performed his training by giving the children the freedom of acting and the opportunity of playing. After observing and assessing the educational method of both methods, the researcher measured the basic motor skills of children. Evaluating and monitoring the motor skills of children continued for 3 weeks; including three one-hour sessions per week. The development of gross-motor -2 test of Ulrich (2000) was used to measure the basic motor skills, and multivariate analysis of variance was used for comparing between the two groups. Results: The results showed that the child-centered learning group was superior to the teacher-oriented group in the development of motor skills, but there was no difference between the two groups in terms of mobility skills (p <0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study showed that in a child-oriented educational approach, conditions are created that increase physical activity and children's play, which ultimately facilitate the development of manipulation skills in pre-school children. As a result, it can be said that adoption of a child-centered teaching method meets children's need for encouragement, opportunity to practice, and play. 518 Special Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Preschool Age: Lived Experiences of Mothers Hoseinzadeh Maleki Zahra Rasoolzadeh Tabatabaei Kazem Mashhadi Ali Moharreri Fatemeh Department of psychology, Faculty of Humanities, Tabiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran Department of Psychology, Faculty of Humanities, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran Department of Psychology, Faculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad , Iran Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran 1 4 2019 6 1 265 275 24 05 2018 23 07 2018 Background and Purpose: Mothers are the most important factors in the prognosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in pre-school children. Detecting mothers’ experiences in daily life increases the potential of improving the effects of interventions on the child and enhancing the parents' level of well being. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to explore Iranian mothers’ experiences in raising preschool children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Method: This research was executed in the qualitative method of phenomenological approach throughout a period of four months in 2016. The statistical population consisted of mothers who had preschool children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who referred to Ebne-Sina Psychiatric Clinic in Mashhad. Through convenient sampling which continued until saturation, 15 mothers were selected and participated in an unstructured in-depth interview. The interviews were analyzed with Colaizzi’s method. Results: Mothers’ experience was categorized into three main domains. “Inadequacy of knowledge” consisted of mothers’ unfamiliarity with the diagnosis, and the inaccessibility of scientific resources and applied knowledge. The “difficulties of treatment” displayed their experience to manage the disorder focused on the limitations of treatment systems and the challenges of pharmacotherapy. “Interaction problems in social network” signified the tension, conflict, guilt and shame, and loneliness and isolation brought on by child’s disorder. Conclusion: Raising children with ADHD is a difficult experience which requires mothers’ professional support throughout the early years of the disorder’s development. Therefore, all of the findings of the present study are potential treatment goals in increasing mothers’ well-being and they can be used to improve existing interventions and design new ones.
