10. Summary of project results:
The study presented an overview of the burden of care for patients with chronic illness, including a review of important studies around the world, especially in the group of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. Basic issues of burden of care such as concepts, influencing factors, and aspects of burden were mentioned. At the same time, the study also reviewed assessment and support methods, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and self-compassion enhancement techniques, to support clients in reducing burden, increasing acceptance, and coping ability in the future.
Supportive outcomes showed that clients experienced reduced fatigue symptoms, improved sleep quality and quality of life, increased acceptance, and reduced self-criticism and isolation. Additionally, clients were able to apply mindfulness techniques to manage emotions, prevent increased caregiving burden, and other problems in their lives.

From the results obtained through the process of theoretical and practical research in psychological support, the project has contributed further evidence for the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive approaches in providing psychological support for caregivers of patients with chronic diseases. In addition, the limitations of the project also provide new practitioners with lessons to increase the effectiveness of future support.
