The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of lifestyle-integrated mindfulness practice supported by SNS (LINE) among community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults, (1) to clarify adherence and its psychological, social, and physiological correlates, as well as longitudinal changes in health indicators, and (2) to compare the causal effects of notification frequency on adherence.
Efficacy
Adherence to daily-life integrated mindfulness practices (8-week average) among community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults, and between-group differences in adherence by push notification frequency.
1.Changes in psychological indicators (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS], Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire [FFMQ], Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI], etc.)
2.Changes in physiological indicators (blood pressure)
3.Changes in social factors and self-rated health

Community-dwelling adults aged >= 60 years will participate in an 8-week lifestyle-integrated mindfulness program.
- Face-to-face sessions: once weekly, 60 minutes x 8 sessions. Guided practices include breathing meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, body scan, daily-life applications, and self-compassion. Each session includes goal setting for home practice.
- Home practice support (ICT): 8 daily notifications (07:30, 09:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30, 17:30, 19:30, 21:30) with 5-10 min guided videos via LINE. A daily 20:00 questionnaire collects practice status, content, and concentration (1-5). URL clicks are recorded as an auxiliary adherence indicator.
Same content as Intervention 1, except that home practice support (ICT) consists of a single daily notification at 07:30. All other components are identical.
Same content as Intervention 1, except that home practice support (ICT) consists of a single notification only on day 1 at 07:30. No further notifications are sent. All other components are identical.
