| Abstract (English): |
Introduction: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) are key strategies in psycho-oncology. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of MBIs on the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients. Method: A systematic review (PRISMA) of 10 randomized clinical trials (2020-2025) was conducted, with quality assessed using Cochrane RoB 2.0. Results: In a sample of 1,007 participants, MBSR and MBCT protocols significantly improved global QoL. Significant benefits were found in functional (p=0.010) and physical well-being (p=0.003), with moderate-to-large effect sizes (d=0.42 to 1.09) in socio-emotional dimensions, sustainable up to 24 weeks. Conversely, virtual reality-based interventions showed no superiority over standard care (p=0.76). Conclusion: MBIs are effective for improving QoL in the cancer population, particularly in psycho-emotional aspects. Protocol standardization is recommended for clinical integration.

Introducción: Las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness (MBI) son estrategias clave en psicooncología. Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia de las MBI en la calidad de vida (CV) de pacientes oncológicos. Método: Revisión sistemática (PRISMA) de 10 ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (2020-2025) evaluados con Cochrane RoB 2.0. Resultados: En una muestra de 1,007 participantes, los protocolos MBSR y MBCT mejoraron significativamente la CV global. Se hallaron beneficios en bienestar funcional (p=0,010) y físico (p=0,003), con tamaños de efecto de moderados a grandes (d=0,42 a 1,09) en dimensiones socioemocionales, sostenidos hasta 24 semanas. Por el contrario, la realidad virtual no mostró superioridad frente al cuidado estándar (p=0,76). Conclusión: Las MBI son eficaces para mejorar la CV en población oncológica, especialmente en aspectos psicoemocionales. Se recomienda estandarizar protocolos para su integración clínica.
