The goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on interoception (your understanding of your body's internal senses), emotional well-being, and whole person health. A total of 30 people with chronic stroke will be enrolled in this study to participate in an MBSR course, consisting of a 30-minute intake visit, 8 sessions lasting 2.5 hours plus a 1-day 7-hour retreat. Participants will be randomized into either the first MBSR course (immediate start) or the second MBSR course (delayed start/waitlist control).

| Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) | Behavioral | MBSR consists of teaching meditation practices through breath and body awareness, awareness of movement through Yoga postures, and psychoeducation on stress reduction. The course will be offered online through video conferencing and will consist of a 30-minute intake visit, 8 weekly 2.5-hour sessions, and a 7-hour retreat. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of MBSR Intervention Feasibility by measuring class attendance | Feasibility of the MBSR intervention will be assessed by measuring attendance of the sessions | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of MBSR Intervention Feasibility through item 4 of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) | Satisfaction with the course will be measured using item 4 of the CSQ-8, which asks whether the participant would recommend the course to others. | From pre-intervention visit to end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Study Feasibility through measurement of participant recruitment | Recruitment feasibility will be assessed by measuring the number of participants recruited within the 3-month recruitment window compared to the recruitment goals of the study. | 3-month recruitment period |
| Assessment of Study Feasibility through measurement of participant study completion (retention) | Retention will be measured by assessing number of recruited participants who complete all study visits. | From enrollment to end of study (approximately 16 weeks) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement of Interoception as assessed by the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) | Higher scores indicate greater interoceptive awareness | From pre-intervention visit to end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Interoception using the Body Perception Questionnaire short form (BPQ-SF) |

Higher scores indicate more symptoms |
| From pre-intervention visit to end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Emotional Wellbeing through the Personal Health Questionnaire 8-item (PHQ-8) | Higher scores indicate more severe depression | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Emotional Wellbeing using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) | Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Emotional Well-being using the World Health Organization Wellbeing Index (WHO-5) | A higher score indicates better mental well-being | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Emotional Well-being using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) | A higher score indicates greater satisfaction | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Emotional Wellbeing through the Meaning in Life Questionnaire-Presence | The 5-item presence subscale of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire measures the degree to which individuals feel their lives are full of meaning and purpose. A higher score indicates stronger levels of perceived meaning. | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
| Assessment of Whole Person Health using the Whole Person Health Index (WPHI) | A higher score indicates better or improving health | From pre-intervention visit to the end of treatment (~8 weeks) |
