Study Details

The goal of this single-arm pilot clinical trial is to evaluate whether a group-based mindfulness intervention can improve mental health and sleep among parents who are informal caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does participating in an 8-week mindfulness program reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia in caregivers? Does participating in an 8-week mindfulness program improve mindfulness in caregivers? What are the caregivers' experiences in participating in the 8-week mindfulness program? Participants will: * Attend weekly group-based mindfulness sessions for 1.5 hours over eight weeks. * Complete assessments before starting the program (baseline) and immediately after the final session. * Participate in a qualitative feedback interview after the final session.
