Evidence suggests that mindfulness is acceptable and feasible among stroke survivors and their caregivers.

The Conclusion reports that group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was feasible for stroke survivors, and Group Experience says all participants described attending as positive. The Participants section identifies the four participants as stroke survivors, not caregivers; Group Experience proposes including partners in a future group. The paper therefore does not establish acceptability or feasibility among caregivers. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
