Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will adopt the intervention of mindful yoga to improve the psychological well-being of older adults who discharged from hospital and their caregivers in Hong Kong.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the proposed study, the investigators will conduct a fully powered, double-blind, and multicentered randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the efficacy of mindful yoga versus a psychoeducation control. The study sample will consist of older adults discharged from hospitals within the previous 3 months and their informal caregivers. The investigators will aim to determine: (1) the efficacy of mindful yoga in the study group versus the control group in improving the dyadic psychological well-being (as measured by depression, anxiety, stress, and meaning of life) of older adult-caregiver dyads (e.g., both actor and partner effects); (2) whether these improvements were maintained after 3 and 6 months; and (3) the lived experiences of older adults and their caregivers. The investigators hypothesize that: (1) mindful yoga will be more efficacious in improving outcomes compared with the control condition; (2) there will be both actor and partner effects of the intervention on the primary and secondary outcomes; and (3) these outcome improvements will be maintained at 3 and 6 months.
