mHealth Mindfulness With Patients With Serious Illness and Their Caregivers (NCT05040711)
Piloting an mHealth-delivered Mindfulness Therapy With Patients With Serious Illness and Their Caregivers to Alleviate Symptoms of Anxiety
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Older adults with serious illness and their caregivers have high rates of anxiety and limited access to effective, non-pharmacological treatments. A recent National Academy of Medicine report recommended increased emphasis on disseminating and implementing evidence-based psychotherapies in order to have maximal public health impact. Through this work, I will identify a sustainable and potentially scalable dyadic intervention and delivery model to manage symptoms of anxiety in older adults with serious illness and their caregivers in primary care.
