This research study is aiming to explore whether an online mindfulness programme is accessible and supportive for first time mothers who has a child who is less than 12 months old.
This study is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing an online mindfulness based course (10ofZen) with a treatment as usual group (delayed 10ofZen course materials). Participants will be informed about the study and asked to undertake a screening questionnaire to ensure the eligibility criteria is met. Following this, participants will be invited to give online consent. A battery of self-report measures will be administered online at baseline (week 0), post-intervention (week 10) and at follow-up (week 14). A sleep measure will also be undertaken and used as a co-variate during data analysis. At the end of participation in the research study, all participants will gain access to the course materials, including audio recordings of meditations and any written materials used within the course.
