Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of parenting from the parents of children with ADHD and to develop a grounded theory about their experiences.
Method: This study was a qualitative research study that used a grounded theory to understand and discuss the parenting experiences of parents of children with ADHD in a greater depth. Grounded data was collected through an in-depth interview from twelve participants with ADHD children. The data was analyzed using the grounded theory method.
Results: ¡¯¡¯Approaching the normal¡¯¡¯ emerged as the core phenomenone. Parenting experiences for parents of children with ADHD referred to a process of bringing the children, back on track of normal growth development, and their functioning in the family at a normal level and establishing a new normalcy. The process of approaching the normal involved a basic social-psychological process, such as ¡¯¡¯living a day in hell¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯accepting¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯confronting the conflicts¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯lowering expectations¡¯¡¯, and ¡¯¡¯making a new normalcy¡¯¡¯.
Conclusion: The outcomes of this study, which observed the parenting process of parents of children with ADHD, could enhance nurses¡¯¡¯ understanding of ADHD and help nurses become major mental health service providers for the mental health of children with ADHD and their families.
