| Summary: | Background: Mindfulness practices have gained popularity and acceptance worldwide in recent decades. Integrating mindfulness-based practices in the school setting has shown promising potential in improving adolescent's mental health and overall well-being. Objective: To identify mindfulness-based interventions in school settings that have improved adolescent mental health and well-being. Methods: We used the Arskey and O'Malley scoping review technique as the basis for the review. The databases used in the search are – MEDLINE PubMed (NCBI), Web of Science (Clarivate), and Scopus (Elsevier). Keywords used for the search were mindfulness or mindfulness-based intervention in addition to schools, children, and adolescents. The evaluation was documented in line with the (PRISMA- ScR). The TiDER checklist was followed to collect intervention data. Results: This review comprised a total of eleven research studies. Out of eleven studies, three examined the effectiveness of MBI on adolescents' well-being, seven focused on the mental health benefits of MBI, and one looked at how adolescents perceived MBI. Five studies were randomized control trials; two were quasi-experimental, one was an explorative study, one was a longitudinal study, and the other two were qualitative. Conclusion: Studies on mindfulness conducted among the adolescent age group showed promising results in overall well-being and mental health. |
