Summary
This study tested a 5-week online mindfulness program (AIZEN) for professional and family caregivers of people with dementia. Sixty caregivers in Taiwan attended weekly live classes and did daily 10-minute guided practices. Researchers measured burnout and caregiver burden before, after, and at a 5-week follow-up to see if the program helped reduce stress.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, low-cost way to ease caregiver burnout and stress.
