| Key findings | The review reports that brief group mindfulness-based interventions of two to seven sessions, lasting 35 minutes to four hours, are effective. The most frequently used strategy integrates mindfulness with cognitive-behavioral techniques. The authors argue that heterogeneity in session number, duration, and practice quality prevents exhaustive comparison and that more research is needed on which modality best supports long-term strategy acquisition. |
Abstract
Las estrategias basadas en mindfulness han demostrado su eficacia en variados cuadros clínicos.Sin embargo, varias investigaciones dan cuenta de dificultades en la adherencia vinculada a los modelos de ocho sesiones y de estrategias breves con buenos resultados.En la presente revisión sistemática, basada en PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), se revisaron un total de 366 artículos, de los cuales solo once dan cuenta de la población objetivo, número y duración de las sesiones, las estrategias utilizadas y los resultados obtenidos en once intervenciones grupales breves basadas en mindfulness.Fueron estos once los únicos utilizados en el análisis final.Los resultados muestran que estas intervenciones (de dos a siete sesiones) resultan eficaces, con una duración que oscila entre los treinta y cinco minutos y las cuatro horas; que la estrategia más utilizada es la integración entre mindfulness y técnicas cognitivo-conductuales, y que existe una amplia variabilidad en lo relativo a las actividades entre sesiones.La heterogeneidad en cuanto al número de sesiones, la duración de las mismas y la cualidad de las prácticas hace muy difícil una comparación exhaustiva, por lo que resulta necesario continuar el estudio sobre la modalidad más efectiva con relación a la adquisición a largo plazo de las estrategias por parte de los participantes.Palabras clave: intervenciones grupales, mindfulness, técnicas cognitivoconductuales, bienestar psicológico.Mindfulness-based strategies have demonstrated their efficacy in a variety of clinical conditions.However, several studies report difficulties in adherence linked to eight-session models and brief strategies with good results.In the present systematic review, based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), a total of 366 articles were reviewed, of which only eleven reported on the target population, number and duration of sessions, strategies used, and results obtained in eleven brief group interventions based on mindfulness.These eleven were the only ones used in the final analysis.The results show that these interventions (from two to seven sessions) are effective, with a duration ranging from thirty-five minutes to four hours; the most used strategy is the integration between mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques, and there is a wide variability in activities between sessions.The heterogeneity in the number of sessions, duration, and quality of the practices makes an exhaustive comparison very difficult, so it is necessary to continue the study on the most effective modality for the long-term acquisition of the strategies by the participants.
