Summary

Stroke survivors and their family caregivers often experience stress, anxiety, and depression. The psychological wellbeing of stroke survivors and family caregivers is thought to be interconnected and can have an important role to play in rehabilitation outcomes. Mindfulness meditation can help improve psychological wellbeing, but it often involves people attending groups by themselves and engagement can be poor. One solution is for stroke survivors and family caregivers to learn mindfulness meditation together online.

This study aims to explore the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness, and effectiveness of mindfulness meditation delivered online for stroke survivor and family caregiver partnerships.

Web-based Mindfulness Course

The intervention is a therapist led, web-based MBI course, delivered asynchronously via a series of online videos. The Be Mindful course is a four-week mindfulness course based on the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy courses. The course has been positively evaluated and shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression for participants. Participants complete ten online interactive videos (30 minutes each), twelve daily practice assignments (with supportive emails), five audio downloads, and online tools for reviewing progress. The minimum time to complete the course is four weeks, but people can take longer if they wish and will still have access to the resources.
