Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a brief, digitally-supported mindfulness program can reduce caregiver burnout in professional caregivers (such as nurses, case managers, and care workers) and informal family caregivers in Taiwan.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the mindfulness program reduce personal and work-related burnout among professional caregivers?

Does the mindfulness program reduce caregiver burden among informal family caregivers?

Researchers compared an immediate-intervention group with a wait-list control group to see if those who received the program earlier experienced greater improvements.

Participants were asked to:

Join five weekly 90-minute live online classes led by an instructor.

Practice daily 10-minute guided mindfulness sessions using the AIZEN digital platform.

Complete questionnaires about stress and caregiver burden at three time points: baseline (T1), after the 5-week program (T2), and 5-week follow-up (T3).

Between classes, they were asked to complete at least 10 minutes of daily guided mindfulness practice using the AIZEN digital platform. To encourage adherence, participants also received automated daily reminders through the LINE messaging service.
