简要总结
This study is a two-arm randomized controlled trial comparing two 8-week stress management programs for reducing inflammation and improving well-being among older adults.
详细描述
A growing body of literature has demonstrated how stress can affect social relationships, health, and well-being during the aging process. Here, the investigators will test how two different programs can be used to facilitate healthy aging by helping individuals manage stress. One program will teach participants mindfulness meditation techniques while the other will educate participants about how to manage their health.
N=188 older adults will visit the study's central laboratory for a baseline visit and complete several days of daily experience sampling before being randomized into one of the two 8-week stress management programs. Participants will complete several days of daily experience sampling at the midpoint and conclusion of the intervention before returning to a study site to complete a follow-up assessment at both 1-week and 3-months after the end of the program.
This project will provide important information about how each training program can be used to promote well-being, health, and better social functioning in older adults. This work will ultimately inform the design of more efficacious and efficient stress-management interventions to facilitate healthy aging.
