Abstract
Caring for a person with dementia can have serious implications for the psychological condition of family caregivers. There are high rates of stress and anxiety amongst family caregivers of individuals with dementia. Many authors show the invaluable service these family members provide and the need for healthcare providers to recognize and promote health amongst this population. In an effort to improve the health outcome for family caregivers, this doctoral project was designed to develop and implement a health promotion project through the use of a video guided meditation program. This paper emphasizes the need for attention to this concern, to highlight the best current evidence, and to provide a comprehensive description of this quality improvement project with recommendations for practice change. Included, is an analysis of the quantitative results, a thorough evaluation of the project, and a final critique with plans for future dissemination.
