Para ello se cont車 con la participaci車n de un grupo experimental que recibi車 dicha intervenci車n en meditaci車n, y un grupo control que no fue sometido a dicha intervenci車n. Los niveles de malestar psicol車gico de ambos grupos fueron evaluados mediante el cuestionario SCL-90-R de Derogatis. Los an芍lisis estad赤sticos realizados muestran la existencia de diferencias significativas entre el grupo experimental y el grupo control en todas las dimensiones y las medidas generales de malestar psicol車gico evaluadas mediante el cuestionario SCL-90-R. Palabras clave: Meditaci車n, conciencia plena, malestar psicol車gico, inmigrantes, choque cultural. This study analyzes the effects of a meditation program on levels of psychological distress in a group of immigrants of different nationalities who live in Spain. An experimental group received the meditation intervention and a control group did not. A quasi-experimental design was used, comparing the groups with pre- and post-test measurements. Levels of psychological distress in the two groups were assessed using Derogatis＊ SCL-90-R questionnaire. Statistical analyses showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups on all dimensions and general measures assessed through the SCL-90-R questionnaire, with participants in the meditation program achieving significant reductions in these dimensions and measures as compared to the control group. We therefore consider that meditation techniques can be a suitable therapeutic recourse in the care and prevention of psychological problems which the immigrant population is at risk for. Key words: Meditation, mindfulness, psychological distress, immigrants, culture clash.
