Summary

This study examines the effectiveness of a 16-week Integrated Mindfulness-based Health Qigong (iMBHQ) program, delivered via a mobile application, in improving the mental and physical well-being of COVID-19 survivors, their caregivers, and the general public. We hypothesize that participants in the iMBHQ group will demonstrate significant reductions in stress, depression, and anxiety compared to a control group receiving treatment-as-usual. This parallel-group randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 600 participants (200 COVID-19 survivors, 200 caregivers, and 200 individuals from the general public). Effectiveness is evaluated at baseline, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months post-intervention, using standardized psychological and physical health assessments.

Mindfulness-based Health Qigong Intervention

Participants are introduced the practice of the most essential skills, particularly mindfulness and the basic movements of Qigong. The intervention lasts 16 weeks and is divided into two sequential 8-week phases: Phase 1 (Weeks 1-8): Participants complete mindfulness-based sessions lasting 2 to 2.5 hours per week. They are also instructed to complete three self-practice sessions (5 to 10 minutes per session), scheduled flexibly at their convenience. Phase 2 (Weeks 9-16): Participants complete 40 sessions of Health Qigong (5 sessions per week, 30 minutes each). To verify compliance, participants must upload a 1-minute self-practice video to the mobile application each week.
