What this trial is about
The goal of this pilot randomised controlled trial is to examine the effects of a mindfulness-based music breathing intervention in enhancing resilience (primary outcome), and in reducing anxiety, depressive symptoms, loneliness, and improving health-related quality of life (secondary outcomes) among community-dwelling older adults at risk of mental health problems. It is hypothesised that compared with the control group, participants in the intervention group will report enhanced resilience, reduced anxiety, depressive symptoms, and loneliness, and improved health-related quality of life immediately post-intervention.
