摘要

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the effects of mindfulness-based behaviors education (MBBE) on cognitive behavior and physical health outcomes in adult care givers (ACGs).

Methods

An experimental two groups were designed with three repeated measurements (on the baseline, Week 4, and Week 8). The primary care units were selected as control and experiment groups. The participants were recruited by random allocation based on inclusion criteria: aged 35–59 years who had been family caregivers in the community. Both groups received normal education according to the primary care unit. Only the experimental group received a MBBE practice that would emphasize behavior skills training for 6 weeks (in physical; diet, exercise movement, mental and social communication function) and instill a feeling of adaptation to everyday life.

Results

The results showed no statistically significant differences in all of the variances between groups on Week 4 (p>0.05), except for respiratory rate (RR) (p<0.001). Then, on Week 8, the experimental group showed a significant statistical difference when compared to the control group in the total mean score of mindful behavior (MindB) (p=0.03), awareness (AW) (p=0.018), and mean of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p=0.028), RR (p<0.001). However, no statistically significant differences were detected in acceptance (AC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), and body mass index (BMI).

Conclusions

MBBE had positive effects on mental, social, and cardio-pulmonary outcomes. Educators should promote sustainable MBBE practices for ACGs and explore its potential for clinical or at-risk behavior groups in future studies.
