Caregiver Burden Clinical Trial
Official title:
Caring for the Family Caregiver: Testing the Effect of Two Wellness Programs That Support the Well-being of Family Caregivers of Persons With Neurodegenerative Disorders
The purpose of this study is to assess whether an 8-week mindfulness program enhances psychological well-being (e.g., stress, depressive symptoms), biological indicators of stress (e.g., inflammation), and cognitive function (e.g., attentional ability) in primary family caregivers of persons with dementia or a related neurodegenerative disease. A total of 232 primary family caregivers aged 50+ years of age will be recruited for this study and randomized to one of three groups: mindfulness meditation (MM), psychoeducation (PSY) or caregiver respite (CR). All participants will complete three testing sessions: baseline (pre-intervention [T1]), post 8-week follow-up (post-intervention, [T2]), and 12-month follow-up (T3).
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefits of 2 virtual self-care programs - mindfulness meditation or a psychoeducation support group - for family caregivers of persons with a neurodegenerative disorder. Both programs are 8-weeks in length. A third arm will include a respite-ony group, which may be considered "treatment as usual". Outcomes of interest include psychological well-being (e.g., stress, depressive symptoms), biological indicators of stress (e.g., inflammation), and cognitive function (e.g., attentional ability). All participants will complete three testing sessions: baseline (pre-intervention [T1]), post 8-week follow-up (post-intervention, [T2]), and 12-month follow-up (T3). The target sample is 232 family/informal caregivers, aged 50+ years old. All sessions will be conducted using the Zoom platform. Participants will be required to go to LifeLabs for blood collection. Blood results will be shared with participants. ;
