Official title
The Effectiveness of a Multifaceted Mindfulness Program Integrated With Digital Technology-Assisted Learning on Healthy Aging in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness program integrated with digital technology-assisted learning on healthy aging among community-dwelling older adults. In a randomized controlled trial, 100 participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental group will receive a ten-week mindfulness program supported by digital tools such as educational videos and LINE Bot messaging. Primary outcomes include mindfulness awareness, physical activity, heart rate variability, cognitive function, sleep quality, perception of aging, and healthy aging perspectives. Additionally, qualitative interviews will be conducted with 10 experimental group participants to explore their intervention experiences.
