Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
This stress-reduction intervention was added into an ongoing observational study in May of 2013. The parent study is a prospective cohort study of the effects of chronic stress in a group of maternal caregivers with children on the autism spectrum and healthy controls whose children have no diagnosis. Study participants are being invited to enroll in a 12-week stress reduction course based on the principles of mindfulness. They will attend four six-hour workshops and participate in 12 weekly hour-long web video conferencing calls to reinforce what is taught in the workshops.
At the beginning and the end of the intervention, they complete self-report measures of psychological well-being and give saliva samples. Since the women are also participating in the longitudinal study, we have other before and after data for them. These include psycho-social measures, body measurements, psycho-physiology measurements, cognitive tests, actigraphy (for sleep), as well as saliva (for hormones), hair (for hormones) and blood (for telomeres, telomerase, gene expression, circulating hormones, inflammation and oxidative stress).

Kokeellinen: Stress-reduction class
Study participants enrolled in a 12-week stress reduction course based on the principles of mindfulness.
They attended four six-hour workshops and participated in 12 weekly hour-long web video conferencing calls to reinforce what was taught in the workshops.
We have two groups: chronically-stressed maternal caregivers of children on the autism spectrum and control mothers whose children have no significant psychiatric or physical impairment.

Psychological Well-Being
Aikaikkuna: Change from beginning to end of 12-week intervention

We will collect perceived stress, acceptance and awareness of emotions and rumination at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.

Telomere length from blood cells
Aikaikkuna: Change over six months pre- and post-intervention
|
Since participants are also taking part in an ongoing non-interventional longitudinal study, they will provide blood samples at their 18-month study visit, which occurs before the start of the intervention, and at the 24-month study visit, which occurs after the end of the intervention.
We will measure telomere length pre- and post-intervention in a variety of blood cell types.

Telomerase
Aikaikkuna: Change over 6 months pre- and post-intervention
|
Since participants are also taking part in an ongoing non-interventional longitudinal study, they will provide blood samples at their 18-month study visit, which occurs before the start of the intervention, and at the 24-month study visit, which occurs after the end of the intervention.
We will measure telomerase pre- and post-intervention in a variety of blood cell types.

Cognitive functioning
Aikaikkuna: Change over six months pre- and post-intervention
|
Since participants are also taking part in an ongoing non-interventional longitudinal study, they will complete a battery of cognitive tasks at their 18-month study visit, which occurs before the start of the intervention, and at the 24-month study visit, which occurs after the end of the intervention.
We will be able to assess performance pre- and post-intervention, to see if it improves after the stress-reduction training.
