Most studies demonstrated positive mental health outcomes, with 81.82% reporting reductions in anxiety and stress symptoms, 69.23% showing improvements in mindfulness levels, and 50% indicating decreases in depressive symptoms. Conclusion. The findings suggest that mindfulness-based interventions can contribute to improving psychological well-being and may serve as a relevant approach for mental health promotion in higher education settings.
