Summary

COVID-19-related depression, anxiety, and stigma are expected to have short-term and long-term adverse impacts on mental health, help seeking and preventive behaviours in affected individuals, including care providers and the general population. Health qigong (HQ), a form of traditional Chinese martial arts with emphasis placed on the body movement and status of mind, has been demonstrated to enhance both physical and mental health. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), another mind-body treatment, have become increasingly popular for treating a number of health problems. This study proposes an integrated intervention that combines the effects of HQ and MBIs (iMBHQ) to improve the mental wellbeing of COVID-19 survivors, caregivers including healthcare providers and family members as well as the general public in the community.
