Implication

Quasi-experimental design shows mindfulness enhances mental health and quality of life in elderly individuals, indicating its value.

Key Points

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction significantly improved psychological resilience and quality of life in older adults, enhancing their mental health.
  • A strong positive correlation was noted in the experimental group (r = 0.46), contrasting with the control group's poor correlation (r = 0.15).
  • Participants in the experimental group underwent a structured mindfulness program, while the control group received routine care.
  • These findings suggest that mindfulness practices may serve as effective interventions to support mental well-being in older populations.
