Detailed Description
Outcomes and Instruments to be used: As primary endpoint the quality of life of the family caregiver will be observed and as a secondary outcome the caregiver's overload will be observed.
As explanatory variables will be considered anxiety, depression, functionality and level of attention to the present moment (mindfulness).
The investigators will use focal group, Sociodemographic questionnaire, World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Brief Autocompaction Scale, World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Brief Version, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Qualitative Analysis Questionnaire - Semi-Structured, Informal Caregiver Burden Assessment Questionnaire, Number of Practices and Adverse Effects.
Procedure: The mothers of people with intellectual disability (ID) will be invited to participate in the research protocol.
Having knowledge of the subject, agreeing to participate and signing the consent form, will respond to the questionnaires identified above, with a total duration of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Subsequently the participants will be randomized into two groups, in which one will receive the mindfulness intervention and the other, active control, will participate in a Problem Solving Training.
The protocols of questionnaires and focal group will be performed before, immediately after the accomplishment of the groups and in the follow-up of six months.
The intervention group will last 8 weeks, according to the Mindfulness Based Health Promotion Program (PSBM) and during this same period the active control group will occur.
Hypotheses and expected results: Mindfulness is expected to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of this population, and so the investigators can contribute to the scientific increase in the theme.
