Sammanfattning
The aim of our project
was to explore the effectiveness of a
web-based mindfulness program for
families living with mental and/or
somatic illness by the means of a randomized controlled study including
an experiment group (n=196) and a
wait-list control (WLC) group (n=202)
(Stjernswärd & Hansson, 2018). The
test period for the 8-week program
was set to 10 weeks, with pre– and post-test assessments, and a 3-month
follow-up. After the randomization
process, the wait-list participants
were informed that their test period
would start by mid-August (2017).
By mid-August, we emailed registration information to all WLC participants, which enabled them to access
the mindfulness program and to start
practicing. Thereafter, weekly email
reminders were sent to the participants, in a similar fashion as we did
for the experiment group. By the third
week into the test period, however,
we realized that something hadn’t
gone as planned…
