This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-compassion therapy on depression, anxiety, and stress among mothers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. A quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group was used. The sample consisted of 28 mothers of 5 to 11-year-olds boys and girls with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Rasht in 2020-2021. They were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in the compassion self-treatment training group for eight weekly sessions, and the control group received a concise summary of the treatment after the end of the study. Both groups were administered a questionnaire on depression, anxiety, and stress three times for pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that self-compassion treatment significantly affected depression, anxiety, and stress scores. In the post-test stage, depression, anxiety, and stress scores were significantly lower as compared to the pre-test. Moreover, this significant decrease in the follow-up was also stable. The results showed that self-compassion training could benefit mothers, significantly reducing depression, anxiety, and stress. Therefore, it can be implemented as one training compared to other training.
