“…This is related to what other researchers, such as Cepeda (2015) and González et al (2019) noted about the relationship between mindfulness and well-being, as they indicated that subjects trained in mindfulness experience a favourable impact when facing stressful situations, obtain emotional advantages and contribute to avoiding relapse among those individuals suffering from depression. These data have been assessed through numerous instruments, including: the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS); the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS); the World Health Organisation's Five-Item Well-Being Index (WHO-5); and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), which showed how students perceived a signi cant improvement in these aspects (Altinyelken, 2022;Harris et al, 2016;Langer et al, 2017;Sanger et al, 2018).…”

Objectives This article is a response to the growing need to prioritise well-being and balance cognitive and socioemotional aspects in the educational environment. Its objective is to conduct a systematic review of studies that have analysed the influence of mindfulness practice on well-being in educational settings, in order to investigate whether the effects of its practice can be extrapolated to the educational environment as a whole. Methods : Following the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of major databases was carried out using the keywords ‘mindfulness’, ‘education’ and ‘well-being’. After peer review, the final sample consisted of 15 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results The findings show that mindfulness practice has positive effects on the well-being of the educational community; a positive relationship has also been found between mindfulness practice and performance. Conclusions Despite the limitations, mindfulness programmes showed a positive association with well-being among both students and teaching staff. This highlights the need for future research to overcome the limitations identified, with a view to addressing the paucity of studies and existing methodological heterogeneity. It is suggested that future research endeavours should be extended to other educational stages and to continue exploring the appropriateness and effectiveness of mindfulness practices in the educational context.

Graduate students regularly experience anxiety, sleep disturbances, and depression, but little research exists on how to support their mental health. We evaluated the effects of a single‐session, online, synchronous, happiness workshop on graduate student well‐being, mental health, and physical health. Forty‐five students participated in a quasi‐experimental study. Students attended a synchronous 2.5‐h online happiness workshop, or a no‐workshop control condition. After workshop completion and as compared with no‐treatment controls, participants reported significant reductions in depression symptoms but no significant changes on seven other measures. At 6 months, participants reported further reductions in depression symptoms. Moreover, across four open‐ended questions, 37.0%–48.1% of workshop participants (a) recalled workshop tools, (b) found them useful, (c) had been practicing them regularly, and (d) used them in sessions with clients. Despite study limitations, single‐session, synchronous, online, happiness workshops may have salutatory effects on graduate student mental health. Additional research is needed.
