Mindfulness y consumo de tabaco: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

Mindfulness is a treatment that seeks to develop people's mindfulness in the present moment without judgment. Based on this type of therapy, a systematic review was carried out to determine the effectiveness of this treatment on tobacco use. For this purpose, the search was carried out in the Pubmed, Web of Science, and Taylor & Francis databases, with two search strategies. A total of 110 scientific articles were found, from which 13 randomized clinical trials were selected that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It was found at the end that, according to the nature of t he orientation, the characteristics of Mindfulness therapy, such as control capacity, and increased mindfulness, among others, are effective properties to work the different effects of tobacco consumption such as craving, desire, abstinence, reduction of cigarettes smoked per day and relapse control.
