Practice of Acceptance, Awareness, and Compassion in Caregiving (PAACC): A randomized controlled trial on mindfulness‐based intervention for caregivers of individuals living with dementia

The study shows that while both interventions are beneficial, PAACC offers an additional advantage in enhancing psychological well-being of the caregivers. The increase in mindfulness suggests that PAACC caregivers were able to internalize practices taught in the intervention leading to better coping strategies. The results highlight the potential benefits of integrating mindfulness into future caregiver interventions.

Abstract

The study shows that while both interventions are beneficial, PAACC offers an additional advantage in enhancing psychological well-being of the caregivers. The increase in mindfulness suggests that PAACC caregivers were able to internalize practices taught in the intervention leading to better coping strategies. The results highlight the potential benefits of integrating mindfulness into future caregiver interventions.
