Resumen
Los acontecimientos estresantes afectan regularmente a las personas a lo largo de sus vidas. Las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness pueden utilizarse para prevenir las consecuencias negativas de estos acontecimientos. El presente estudio pretende evaluar el impacto de una intervención de mindfulness breve, midiendo sus efectos sobre la sintomatología depresiva, la satisfacción con la vida, la rumiación cognitiva y la regulación emocional, en personas adultas residentes en Chile, que han experimentado un acontecimiento estresante reciente. Se utilizó un diseño experimental, a través de un ensayo controlado aleatorizado de dos grupos, uno experimental (n = 36) y otro control en lista de espera (n = 37), con medición pre, post y seguimiento de todas las variables del estudio, utilizando la Escala de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos (CES-D), la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS), la Escala de Rumiación Relacionada con Eventos (ERRI) y el Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional (ERQ). Los resultados muestran que la intervención disminuyó los niveles de sintomatología depresiva y rumiación intrusiva, aumentando los niveles de satisfacción con la vida. No se observaron cambios intergrupales en regulación emocional. Se concluye que el mindfulness breve podría ser una intervención eficaz para prevenir la sintomatología depresiva y la rumiación cognitiva y promover la satisfacción con la vida en personas que experimentan un acontecimiento estresante reciente.
