Brief Summary

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

This research corresponds to an experimental study, a randomized controlled clinical trial in people over 65 years of age, distributed into two groups: the experimental group will receive a program that will consist of an eight-week mindfulness-based intervention; and the control group that will only receive general recommendations about the benefits of physical exercise. Measurements will be carried out at the beginning of the intervention and immediately after its completion.

Caregivers Outcome Assessors

To assign participants to the control and intervention groups, random sampling will be carried out using sealed and completely opaque envelopes. It will be carried out by a researcher who will not intervene in the different phases of the intervention: neither in the initial phase nor in the subsequent evaluation phase. Therefore, the rest of the researchers will not know to which group each participant who has been included in the study has been assigned.The assignment will be communicated using sealed and totally opaque envelopes. The analysis of the results will be carried out by a researcher unrelated to the group assignment and the intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

Participants assigned to this group will receive general advice about the positive effects of regular physical activity. They will be given a guide of physical exercise recommendations, according to the World Health Organization for people over 65 years of age.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Mindfulness intervention

Participants assigned to this group will receive a mindfulness-based intervention for eight weeks with a weekly session lasting two hours per session. It is an experimental and interactive program that includes conscious movements, meditation, practical activities on attention in the present moment and the search for strategies to face complex situations from the collective and individual level. Participants will carry out daily practices at home during the week with the resources shared in each session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

It consists of 8 weekly sessions with a duration of 2 hours each. A variety of mindfulness practices including mindful movement will be introduced in all sessions. Participants will approach meditation as something natural and everyday, with the possibility of directing attention in all the moments and activities of daily life. Body scanning practices and conscious breathing will also be included. We will work in the group, with reflections and readings, as well as carrying out meditation and mindfulness practices, during the week, so that they can be carried out in the daily life of each participant. The intervention based on mindfulness will focus on the areas of well-being and personal skills such as attention, communication, emotional regulation and decision making.
