Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) helps individuals develop skills to accept the present moment, cope with stress, and regulate emotions. Spiritual well-being plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of life for older adults. The MBSR program enables older individuals to consciously focus their attention on the present moment, allowing them to live more mindfully in the "here and now" instead of dwelling on past anxieties or future worries.
This study examines the effects of the MBSR program on spiritual well-being and meaning-making in older adults, highlighting the importance of spiritual support and mindfulness practices in later life. The research aims to contribute to spiritual support programs for older individuals. A hypothesis will be tested to determine whether there is a difference between the intervention and control groups after the program's implementation.
