Résumé
The aim of this study is to identify the links between creativity, quality of life, and negative emotions in the context of cancer, and to identify the concept that has the greatest impact on quality of life. The study is based on a sample of thirty-five cancer patients (average age sixty-one + eleven). The assessment tools used were the Corsi block-tapping test, the Big Five Inventory, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the World Health Organization Quality Of Life. Creativity was found to have significant links with depression, alexithymia, and quality of life (r = -.43; p < .05 and r = -.31; p < .10 and r = .54; p < .01, respectively). Moreover, creativity was the variable that had the greatest impact on quality of life (β = .32; p = .05). These results support the idea that creativity is an important factor to consider in maintaining cancer patients' quality of life.
