Abstract
This study investigated the effects of brief mindfulness training on caregivers for family members with dementia. Eleven caregivers completed 4 hours of mindfulness training. Using mixed methods in a parallel model, survey data were gathered preintervention, postintervention, and 1 month postintervention; qualitative interviews were conducted 1 month postintervention. Findings include increased acceptance, presence, peace, and hope, and decreased reactivity and caregiver burden resulting from brief mindfulness training. Activity professionals working with dementia caregivers can be of service through delivery of or referrals for mindfulness training. This intervention appeared to balance caregivers' doing, being, and becoming.
