Open accessAbstract
RESUMEN: La ansiedad hace referencia al estado de agitación ante la anticipación de una amenaza, es decir, de una situación peligrosa, lo que conlleva a una respuesta emocional que engloba, tanto el nivel cognitivo, como el emocional, el fisiológico, y/o el motor.El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en identificar la relación existente entre los beneficios de la atención plena (mindfulness) y su influencia en los niveles de ansiedad en niños y adolescentes.Tras realizar una búsqueda exhaustiva de artículos científicos publicados desde la creación de las distintas bases de datos, hasta el mes de agosto de 2019, siendo las bases de datos elegidas Web of Science, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Scopus, CSIC, Psicodoc, y PubMed, se obtuvieron un total de 2025 artículos de carácter científico que, tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión establecidos, quedaron siete artículos para revisión.Los resultados muestran los beneficios de la intervención del mindfulness (MBI) sobre el sujeto.En este sentido, los resultados sugieren que cuando se llevan a cabo intervenciones basadas en conciencia plena se ve relacionado con una reducción de los niveles de ansiedad, y además, un mayor bienestar personal.

Systematic and meta-analytical studies have shown mindfulness-based interventions to contribute to the reduction of symptoms of depression, pain conditions, smoking, and addictive disorders in adults, adolescents, and children.
“Systematic and meta-analytical studies have shown MBI to contribute to the reduction of symptoms of depression, pain conditions, smoking, and addictive disorders (Gu et al., 2015) in adults, adolescents, and children (Soriano et al., 2020)”
From Analysis of the Efficacy of Mindfulness Meditation in a Mutual Aid Group for Bipolar Disorder (2024) · cites this paper as Soriano et al., 2020
Soriano et al. is cited for the population phrase, while Gu et al. is cited for the list of conditions. Soriano et al.’s Abstract and Results report mindfulness interventions and reduced anxiety in children and adolescents, but its meta-analysis does not establish the claimed benefit in adults. Its discussion mentions reduced depressive symptoms, but the paper does not establish the full set of listed outcomes across all three age groups. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
