Interventions
Mindfulness-based stress reduction :MBSR
The intervention consists of 4 weekly virtual sessions and daily mindfulness exercises at home (between 1-5min of duration each, according to the participant's availability. Each session lasts 1 hour (except the first one, which is 1.5 hours due to discussion of the program's logistics). The sessions follow a brief check-in, a lecture on the week's topic, and a guided practice exercise. For the audio guides, participants can select a short version of the daily practice exercise or a longer one, which they will record in the practice logs. Participants also receive information sheets summarizing the weekly sessions.
Usual care
Subjects will continue with their usual healthcare routine and lifestyle. Upon completion of all study visits, subjects will be given access to the audio guides and information sheets for voluntary at-home practice exercises
