Resumen:
Sumario:Meditation is an effective tool to promote psychological well-being and manage stress and psychological distress associated with highly demanding academic, clinical and healthcare situations in academic health contexts. This paper evaluates the impact of meditation-based interventions on the psychological well-being of health occupations students. Controlled clinical trials were searched in the Biblioteca virtual de Salud (BVS), Cochrane Library, Trip Database, Sage Pub, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, Medline (via PubMed), Europe PMC, ScienceDirect, APA PsycInfo, and ERIC. 651 studies were identified. Thirteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. It was found that non-clinical meditation practice, mainly through mindfulness-based interventions, carried out in academic contexts has a positive effect on the psychological well-being and socio-emotional competence of the student body. Long-term benefits depend on students practicing meditation regularly. These findings have implications for health education. They suggest integrating meditation as a preventive approach to improve the psychological well-being of students.
