The effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in enhancing the quality of life and mental health of older adults is of interest. A quasi-experimental design with 60 participants was used, with an experimental group undergoing MBSR and a control group receiving routine care. Results showed a significant positive correlation between improved quality of life and psychological well-being in the experimental group (r = 0.46, p = 0.01). The control group exhibited poor correlation (r = 0.15, p = 0.32). MBSR significantly improved both domains, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing elderly mental health and quality of life.
