The effectiveness of mindfulness therapy on stress among caregivers of psychiatric patients was examined in Krishna Nursing Home at Coimbatore. Quasi experimental one group pre test post test design was adopted in this study. During the data collection period 32 samples were drawn purposively. A pre test was administered using the caregiver stress assessment scale to assess the stress of participants. Then mindfulness therapy was administered to the participants for consecutive 10 days followed by a post test. Appropriate statistical technique was used to analyse the data. The results revealed that there was a significant decrease in the stress of the participants. This concluded that mindfulness therapy was effective in reducing stress among caregivers of psychiatric patients.
