Eficacia de las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness en la reducción del consumo problemático de alcohol en estudiantes universitarios: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration work addresses problematic alcohol consumption among university students, an issue identified during practical experiences in the clinical psychology program. In this context, it was observed that young university students use alcohol as an avoidance mechanism to cope with academic stress and social isolation. Based on these observations, a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted to determine the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions. Findings indicated that in-person and hybrid programs significantly reduce the amount of consumption and binge drinking episodes, whereas digital tools help regulate consumption frequency. Building on this evidence, a simulated clinical case of a 19-year-old student with alcohol use disorder was developed. The assessment process included the application of instruments such as the AUDIT and FFMQ, followed by an intervention proposal consisting of ten sessions of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) focused on emotional regulation. Ultimately, this work articulates theoretical knowledge and clinical practice, highlighting areas that still require further research.
