To preliminarily explore the current status and the influencing factors for the father's involvement in the ADHD systematic execution skill training, 9 families are selected in the program of the ADHD systemic execution skills training. The ADHD-IV scale is adopted to assess the change of the symptoms, and the Parental Rearing Style Scale is adopted to evaluate the rearing style changes, and the qualitative interviews are used to identify the father's involvement. The father's involvement attitude includes learning parenting methods, improving symptoms that affect academics, resolving family education differences, improving parent-child relationship, expecting training to relieve ADHD symptoms, and improving children's emotions. The father's involvement actions include past help-seeking (getting disease relative information, accompanying consultation), and current participating behavior (attendance to the training, with the median participation rate of 90.7%). Influencing factors of the father's involvement include: individual level (father's mental status, the knowledge of disease, the responsibility), family level (mother's requirement), society level(institutional professionalism, practioners' professionalism, suggestions from school and other relevant institutions). This study explores the father's involvement in the ADHD systematic executive skill training, provides a guidance on how to improve the father's participation in the ADHD treatment in the future, and provides some empirical evidences to promote the father's participation in the treatment of children with chronic disorders.
