Mindfulness y regulación emocional en adolescentes: revisión integrativa

Abstract

Over the past decade, mindfulness-based interventions have gained increasing relevance in addressing adolescent mental health. This study aimed to analyze the available scientific evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness in emotional regulation among adolescents, through an integrative review of literature published between 2015 and 2025. International databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science) were consulted, including empirical, qualitative, and theoretical studies. Findings show that interventions implemented in school and clinical contexts improved attention, reduced emotional symptoms, and strengthened resilience. However, methodological limitations persist, such as small sample sizes, lack of active control groups, and limited longitudinal follow-up. It is concluded that mindfulness represents a promising strategy for adolescent emotional regulation, although greater methodological rigor and cultural adaptation are required for sustainable implementation in Latin America.
