Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of web-based mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with focused solution mode on alleviating negative emotions in dementia caregivers. Methods: Sixty dementia caregivers were randomly assigned to either a control group receiving conventional guidance or an intervention group receiving MBSR combined with focused solution mode in addition to conventional guidance. The intervention lasted for 8 weeks. Changes in depression-anxiety-stress scale 21 (DASS-21) and Zarit caregiver burden inventory (ZBI) scores were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: After 8 weeks of intervention, caregivers in the intervention group showed significant decreases in depression, anxiety, stress, and total DASS-21 scores as well as total ZBI score (P<0.001), all of which were lower than those of the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion: MBSR combined with focused solution mode can effectively improve negative emotions and reduce burden levels in dementia caregivers, and is worth promoting and applying in clinical settings.
