THE EFFECTS OF DAILY MINDFULNESS PRACTICE AND RESILIENCE IN MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN

Abstract

Middle-aged women often face numerous stressors related to career, family, and societal expectations, which can significantly affect their mental and emotional well-being. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the role of mindfulness practices in promoting

resilience among this demographic. This abstract presents a comprehensive review of existing literature to explore the effects of daily mindfulness practice on resilience in middle-aged women. In the study investigating the effects of daily mindfulness practice on resilience in middle-aged women, a sample size of 100 participants is deemed appropriate to achieve a balance between statistical power and practical feasibility. The quantitative component of the research involved administering standardized questionnaires to assess participants levels of

mindfulness , resilience and other relevant variables. Measures such as Five Fact Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was utilized to quantitatively evaluate participants mindfulness and resilience levels respectively. The findings suggests that mindfulness practice plays a crucial role in fostering resilience among middle-aged women. While demographic factors such as age and marital status may also influence resilience, their impact appears to be secondary to mindfulness practice. By

understanding the interplay between mindfulness, resilience and demographic factors, researchers can develop targeted interventions that address the unique needs of middle – aged women and facilitate their journey towards enhanced well -being and resilience.
