Mindfulness Training to Reduce Social Isolation and Feelings of Loneliness in Older Caregivers for Family Members With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

University of Rochester·interventional·Posted Sep 23, 2020·Updated Jul 2, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Mindfulness and Breathing for Social Isolation and Loneliness. Completed, enrolled 55 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The objective of this pilot study is to provide initial evidence of the role of mindfulness training in improving social disconnectedness - including social isolation and feelings of loneliness - in older caregivers for family members with ADRD. The investigators propose a two-arm randomized control trial: participants will be randomized to (a) smartphone-based MBSR app (Headspace) or (b) active control (breathing app) for 14 days. Loneliness and quality of social interactions will be assessed using Ecological Momentary Assessment at baseline and 14-days after randomization.
