    Antecedentes: actualmente, existe un fuerte movimiento respecto a la implantación de las intervenciones de mindfulness con adolescentes. El objetivo de este ensayo clínico fue evaluar el efecto potencial de un programa de reducción del estrés basado en la atención plena (MBSR) para pacientes ambulatorios adolescentes en los servicios de salud mental de Córdoba, España. Método: un total de 101 adolescentes (13-16 años) con trastornos heterogéneos que recibían tratamiento psicológico o psiquiátrico fueron seleccionados para participar en el estudio. Las puntuaciones de los participantes en mindfulness, autoestima, estrés percibido, ansiedad estado-rasgo y otros síntomas psicológicos fueron evaluados en dos momentos. Ochenta adolescentes completaron el estudio (grupo-MBSR+TAU = 41, grupo-TAU = 39). Resultados: el grupo MBSR+TAU muestra una disminución estadísticamente significativa en ansiedad-estado comparado con el grupo de tratamiento habitual (grupo-TAU). No hay diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos en el resto de puntuaciones, pero hemos encontrado un mayor impacto de la intervención en el grupo MBSR+TAU que en el grupo TAU, especialmente en la reducción de los síntomas de depresión, ansiedad, paranoia y estrés percibido. Conclusión: estos resultados sugieren que MBSR puede ser un tratamiento complementario útil para los adolescentes en los servicios de salud mental.

    Background: Currently, there is a strong movement to implement mindfulness interventions with young people. The objective of this randomised clinical trial was to assess the potential effects of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) programme for adolescent outpatients in mental health facilities in Cordoba, Spain. Method: A total of 101 adolescents aged 13-16 years old, receiving psychological or psychiatric treatment for various disorders, were eligible for the study. The participants’ scores on mindfulness, self-esteem, perceived stress, state-trait anxiety and other psychological symptoms were examined at two time-points. Eighty adolescents completed the study (MBSR+TAU group = 41; TAU group = 39). Results: The MBSR+TAU group showed a statistically significant decrease in anxiety state compared to the treatment-as-usual (TAU) group. No statistically significant differences were found between groups on the other scores, but the intervention was observed to have a greater impact on the MBSR+TAU group than in the TAU group, especially in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, paranoia and perceived stress. Conclusion: These results suggest that MBSR may be a useful adjunct treatment for adolescents in mental health facilities.
