Overview

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

This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program for family caregivers of individuals with dementia against a social support control group. The study measures outcomes including perceived stress, mood disturbance, caregiver burden, and diurnal salivary cortisol levels at post-intervention and three-month follow-up. Results indicate that while both groups experienced improvements in psychosocial outcomes, the mindfulness intervention did not demonstrate sustained advantages over the control condition.
