Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This exploratory randomized controlled trial compares a six-week virtual reality-based mindfulness program against an audio-guided mindfulness control group for family caregivers of individuals with dementia. The study assesses changes in depression, sleep quality, and quality of life among 16 participants using standardized scales at baseline and post-intervention. Results indicate significant within-group improvements for both groups, though no statistically significant differences were found between the VR and audio conditions.
