The Effects of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy on Executive Functions, Impulsivity, and Working Memory in Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Quasi-experimental study shows MBCT improves executive functions and reduces impulsivity in adults with ADHD, suggesting psychological intervention benefits.
Key Points
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy significantly improves executive functions and reduces impulsivity in adults with ADHD, enhancing daily cognitive tasks.
The study found an impressive F-value of 68.48 for executive functions improvement, indicating a strong positive effect of MBCT intervention.
Using a quasi-experimental design, 30 adults with ADHD underwent eight weeks of MBCT sessions, measuring impulsivity and executive functions.
The findings suggest MBCT may serve as an effective psychological intervention, although it did not have a significant impact on working memory.
