Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Family Caregivers of People with Dementia

Family caregivers looking after people with dementia (PWD) often experience high levels of stress. Mindfulness based intervention (MBI) is a psychosocial intervention that integrates the training of the mind and body. It helps increase the caregivers’ awareness of thought and feeling via different mindful activities, such as mediation, body scanning and mindful eating. Family caregivers can integrate the mindful attitude into their daily life in order to inspire their self awareness and make life healthier and more harmonious. Several studies have proved that MBI has positive effects on stress reduction.
