This study will adopt the intervention of mindful yoga to improve the psychological well-being of older adults who discharged from hospital and their caregivers in Hong Kong.
In the proposed study, the investigators will conduct a fully powered, double-blind, and multicentered randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the efficacy of mindful yoga versus a psychoeducation control. The study sample will consist of older adults discharged from hospitals within the previous 3 months and their informal caregivers. The investigators will aim to determine: (1) the efficacy of mindful yoga in the study group versus the control group in improving the dyadic psychological well-being (as measured by depression, anxiety, stress, and meaning of life) of older adult-caregiver dyads (e.g., both actor and partner effects); (2) whether these improvements were maintained after 3 and 6 months; and (3) the lived experiences of older adults and their caregivers. The investigators hypothesize that: (1) mindful yoga will be more efficacious in improving outcomes compared with the control condition; (2) there will be both actor and partner effects of the intervention on the primary and secondary outcomes; and (3) these outcome improvements will be maintained at 3 and 6 months.
