Abstract
Background and Objectives: cognitive confusion is a condition characterized by a state of mind that affects perception, consideration, and decision-making. The level of cognitive confusion in athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is high. The present study aims to investigate the Impact of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on cognitive confusion in athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest, and follow-up design with the control group. The statistical population of those athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder aged 10 to 12 years old, of which 30 athletes were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 people, control and experimental. After the pre-test, all the subjects of the experimental group received the intervention of ACT for 8 sessions of 90 minutes, and the control group did not receive any intervention. After the completion of the intervention sessions, each group was re-examined and after two weeks, a follow-up test was also performed. In this research, Mason's cognitive confusion questionnaire was used. For data analysis, one-way analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni’s post hoc test were used with Spss software version 21 (p≥0.05).
Results: The findings showed that treatment based on commitment and acceptance (ACT) has a positive effect on the cognitive confusion of athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and has reduced their cognitive confusion. (p≥0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, treatment based on commitment and acceptance (ACT) can be an effective treatment to reduce the cognitive confusion of athletes with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
