A Mobile Application Proposal for Self-Monitoring by Caregivers of Children with ADHD : The Potential for Behavioral Improvement in ADHD Caregivers Through Mobile Technology

The recent increase in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has brought significant social challenges, including heightened levels of depression, and guilt among their caregivers. However, many caregivers lack adequate knowledge about ADHD and effective parenting strategies, exacerbating their difficulties. This study aims to design and implement a mobile application service that supports self-monitoring behaviors for caregivers of children with ADHD. The effectiveness of the service was validated through expert consultations and user testing. By leveraging digital technology, the study highlights the potential for caregivers to improve symptom management in their children through self-monitoring practices. Notably, the research underscores the academic and practical significance of self-monitoring-based approaches in enhancing parenting competencies and improving ADHD symptoms in children.
