Promoting Mental Health At Work Among Hospital Professionals

"The information session on mindfulness meditation is an information meeting on the PROMIND study opened to all hospital professionals from the 8 participating departments, i.e. the intervention and control groups.~During this information session, it is specified that it is desirable for the non-intervention groups to maintain their usual practice (or non-practice) during the study, without starting a new practice of mindfulness meditation.~Before this meeting, the baseline questionnaires are administered. Immediately after this time, the questionnaire on representations of mindfulness meditation is administered."

"After randomization, a mindfulness meditation trial session is offered to all professionals in the intervention group follow by the questionnaire on representations of mindfulness meditation administration.~Then, interdepartmental focus groups is conducted with leaders. The following mindfulness meditation program consists of 10 1-hour sessions within 15 days, in groups of up to 15 professionals, conducted at the participants' place and time of work, by a certified mindfulness meditation trainer with a recommended daily practice of 10-20 minutes with the possibility of a longer duration, and an audio guidance tool adapted to the study.~After the program, and 3 months later, questionnaires are administered for both groups.~For the intervention group, individual interviews, and inter-departmental focus groups (leaders) are carried out at the end of the intervention, and intra-departmental focus groups are conducted 3 months after the end."
