Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has caused high mortality rates worldwide, as well as consequent psychological and
physical stress. The present study aimed to review the main existing scientifc research studies conducted since the onset of
the COVID-19 that have used mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) as tools for emotional regulation, aiming to improve
individuals’ ability to cope with general stress caused by pandemic periods and their consequences (e.g., contagion, confnement, loss of loved ones or job stability) especially related with anxiety, stress, depression, or emotional dysregulation.
Method To this aim, six databases (i.e., PubMed, Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct) were
consulted and analyzed following PRISMA-Sc guidelines.
Results Of the 16 studies selected, 7 are clinical trials that used MBIs, and 9 are online surveys in which mindfulness and
emotional regulation variables were assessed to explore their interrelations. Generally, the analysis suggested that the cultivation of MBI strategies for treating anxiety and depression during COVID-19 confnement periods resulted in improved
psychological well-being.
Conclusions MBI techniques can be considered useful intervention tools in current and future worldwide changing situations, in which personal development and resilience should be considered an urgent issue for both educational and preventive
health practices. Conversely, there are also some limitations that arose from the feld of MBI research that hopefully might
be addressed in future research (such as the diversity of intervention techniques used across studies).
