NCT ID NCT07816653
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers test whether an eight-week mindfulness group program can improve family resilience and mindfulness in mothers of children with intellectual disabilities. The program combines mindfulness practices with a family resilience framework. Mothers attend weekly 90-minute sessions and complete assessments before, after, and three months later. A control group continues usual care and completes the same assessments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an eight-week mindfulness-based family resilience group program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give mothers of children with intellectual disabilities a group program that helps them cope and feel more resilient. It could also shape how clinics support these families.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small, with 32 mothers, and measures how people feel rather than hard outcomes. Benefits may fade after the program ends, and results may not apply to mothers in other settings.
