Abstract

Since its publication, the psychometric structure of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire has been replicated, adapted to different populations and languages, and shortened into abbreviated versions. This study aims to evaluate the quality of the scientific evidence regarding the questionnaire's validation processes. An exploratory systematic review was carried out to determine. To this end, a search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Google Scholar, SciELO, Redalyc, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and LILACS. The methodological quality of the selected articles was assessed using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) scale. A total of 20 articles met the inclusion criteria. The properties of internal consistency, construct validity, cross-cultural validity, criterion validity, and responsiveness received high-quality ratings. It is concluded that the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire can be used as a valid tool in different populations.
