简要总结
This study aims to understand the effect of brief Mindfulness Based Interventions (MBIs) on perceived stress, anxiety and depression among family caregivers/caretakers of patients in the Intensive Care Settings including ICUs and HDUs.
Participants in the age group of 18 - 65 year old of any gender will be included in the study. Family caretakers suffering from known psychiatric illness, substance abuse (except nicotine and tobacco), and less than 3 days of assumed hospital stay will be excluded from the study.
Upon taking written informed consent the participants will be recruited and randomly allotted to case arm or control arm.
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS) will be used to assess the effectiveness of MBIs on improving perceived stress, anxiety and depression among the caregivers as the primary objective. Biochemical markers of stress, i.e., Salivary Cortisol (SCort) and Salivary Alpha Amylase (SAA) will be assessed for pre-intervention and post-intervention levels to gauge physiological response of intervention on stress along with Feasibility and Acceptability of Intervention Measure (FIM and AIM) will be administered to both arms as the secondary objective.
Further data analysis will be done using standard SPSS software and biochemical analysis will be done using ELISA technique.
