Abstract:
Objective:To explore the improvement effect of combined intervention of mindfulness and white noise on executive function of adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods:A total of 45 adult patients with ADHD were selected and randomly divided into a combined intervention group,a mindful-ness intervention group,and a non-intervention group.Both the combined intervention group and the mindfulness in-tervention group underwent mindfulness intervention,while the combined intervention group simultaneously in-tegrates white noise,the non-intervention group was not given any intervention measures.At baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention,N-back Task,Flanker task,More-odd Shifting Task,Iowa Gambling Task,and ADHD Rating Scale were used to measure working memory,inhibitory control,cognitive flexibility,emotional decision-making,and ADHD symptoms.Results:After 4 weeks of intervention,the accuracy rates of the inhibition control and cogni-tive flexibility tasks were higher in the combined intervention group than in the mindfulness intervention group,while the reaction times were lower(Ps＜0.05).The accuracy rates of working memory,inhibition control,and cognitive flexibility tasks were higher in the combined intervention group and the mindfulness intervention group than in the non-intervention group,while the reaction times,emotional decision-making scores,total ADHD scores,and scores in all dimensions were lower in the combined intervention group and the mindfulness intervention group than in the non-intervention group(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:Mindfulness and white noise combined intervention has significant advantages in improving executive function and reducing ADHD symptoms of adult patients with ADHD.
