Summary

The study will look at whether online mindfulness meditation (OMM) is easy for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia to use. It will also see how OMM affects their mood, sleep, and quality of life.

The investigators will recruit 32 participants, divided into 4 groups of 8 people each.

Participants will:

* Attend an online mindfulness meditation class once a week for 8 weeks
* Practice at home for 20 minutes each day
* Keep a simple record of their practice and feelings

Conditions

  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
  • Dementia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Online mindfulness meditation

The mindfulness meditation program is adapted from the Breathwork Mindfulness for Stress program. However, it uses shorter meditations designed for individuals who cannot sit for 40 minutes. The mindfulness meditation program encourages greater self-acceptance, kindness, and compassion toward oneself. It builds on this concept by helping participants find pleasure in life despite suffering, fostering kindness and compassion toward others, and increasing social connections to counteract the social isolation common among individuals with chronic and long-term illnesses. The program will be led by a well-trained Breathwork mindfulness instructor and conducted remotely via Microsoft Teams once a week for 8 weeks. Each session will last 2 to 2.5 hours and consist of body scans, mindful movements, and various meditations, introducing new ideas every week.
