Key findings The cultural adaptation, guided by Barrera's five-step model, focused on modifying intervention content: reducing audiovisual materials and readings, shortening session duration, and adding a color activity booklet with visual aids for completing instruments. The authors conclude that Barrera and Castro's methodology is recommendable for cultural adaptation and recommend further adaptation studies of Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Mexican older adults.
