Brief Summary:
Over 80 of caregivers for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases ND engage in significant risk behaviors particularly physical inactivity which increases the risk of cardiometabolic diseases CMD by 30 and reduces life expectancy by 4-8 years Despite the health benefits of maintaining healthy behaviors awareness of behavioral risk management among healthcare professionals and the public is low and research on this topic for ND caregivers is limited Given that physical activity PA is the most prevalent modifiable risk factor timely intervention is essential
International guidelines prioritize PA as a key strategy for caregiver health However existing PA interventions often struggle with low compliance due to the physical and emotional challenges caregivers face Our research group actively explores the health-regulating and enhancing effects of integrative mind-body modalities particularly mindfulness which may promote and sustain healthy behaviors by improving attentional regulation and psychological flexibility Mindfulness-based lifestyle modification might help caregivers better manage physical discomfort stress and self-limiting beliefs thereby supporting sustained PA
The World Health Organization advocates for non-communicable disease NCD prevention through brief lifestyle interventions such as ecological momentary interventions EMI which use mobile messaging eg WhatsApp to deliver personalized health content This method is particularly valuable for caregivers who find it difficult to access traditional services due to their responsibilities
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects and acceptability of an EMI-enhanced Brief and Blended Mindfulness-based Lifestyle Counselling Programme B-Mindful-Life compared to brief lifestyle education for increasing PA among Chinese ND caregivers The primary outcome will measure the change in accelerometer-determined moderate-to-vigorous physical activity MVPA over a 7-day period from baseline to post-intervention
