About this trial
This study was designed to determine the effect of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program on aging anxiety and body image among middle-aged women. The primary hypotheses to be tested are as follows:
H0a: There is no difference in the mean scores of the Aging Anxiety Scale between the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program and the women in the control group.
H0b: There is no difference in the mean scores of the Body Image Scale between the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program and the women in the control group.
H0c: There is no difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention mean scores of the Aging Anxiety Scale among the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program.
H0d: There is no difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention mean scores of the Body Image Scale among the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program.
The researchers will compare the experimental group with the control group in order to assess the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program on aging anxiety and body image among middle-aged women.
Participants:
* They will attend an 8-session mindfulness-based stress reduction program. * They will participate in one silent mindfulness retreat session.

bilinçli farkındalık temelli stres azaltma programı
BehavioralFollowing application to the center, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program will be implemented starting from the scheduled date. The program will last a total of 8 weeks, with one session per week, each session lasting approximately 2 hours. At the end of the 6th week, one day will be designated as a "day of silence," during which a 6-hour session will be conducted. The 8-week program is structured around the themes of aging anxiety and body image. During the day of silent awareness (after the 6th week), the 6-hour silence period will include body scan practices, mindful walking, and breathing meditation. The aim of this silent retreat day is to deepen participants' internal awareness.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Aging Anxiety Score as Measured by the Aging Anxiety Scale for Middle-Aged Women
Aging anxiety will be assessed using the Aging Anxiety Scale for Middle-Aged Women, a self-report questionnaire consisting of Likert-type items. The outcome will be evaluated as the mean change in total scale score from baseline to immediately post-intervention. Higher scores indicate higher levels of aging anxiety.
Time frame
Baseline and immediately post-intervention (8 weeks)Secondary outcomes
1
Change in Body Image Score as Measured by the Body Image Scale
Body image will be assessed using the Body Image Scale, a self-report instrument measuring individuals' perceptions and attitudes toward their own bodies. The outcome will be evaluated as the mean change in total scale score from baseline to post-intervention. Higher scores indicate a more positive body image.
