About

The MAEva program seems to meet the challenges of implementing meditation for cancer care workers. As part of our Quality of Life and Working Conditions initiative, the investigator decided to offer it to staff at our Cancer Center. The MAEva program is delivered in a closed format: participants commit to following, as far as possible, the three sessions of the program - one session per week for 3 weeks. During the sessions, it will be proposed to train meditative practices and three different themes will be addressed (one theme per session): Meditation, Acceptance and Commitment to values.

Before and after the program, participants will complete a quality of life evaluation, a perceived stress scale, and a questionnaire to assess psychological flexibility.

At the end of the program, each participant will be asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire and a semi-directive interview, by videoconference, or by telephone in the event of digital impossibility with voice recording, to enable a qualitative analysis.
