Resumen
El trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) constituye una alteración de la salud mental de alto impacto clínico y social, asociada a la exposición a eventos traumáticos que generan deterioro funcional, afectaciones emocionales y pérdida de productividad. En el contexto colombiano, los estudios recientes evidencian una prevalencia superior a la reportada en otros países, influenciada por factores contextuales como el conflicto armado, la violencia estructurada y el desplazamiento forzado. Frente a esta problemática, las intervenciones basadas en Mindfulness (MBI) han emergido como una alternativa terapéutica respaldada por evidencia científica, mostrando efectos positivos en la reducción de síntomas, la regulación emocional y la mejora del bienestar general. Entre las modalidades más destacadas se encuentran la Terapia Cognitiva Basada en Mindfulness (MBCT) y la Reducción del Estrés Basada en Mindfulness (MBSR), reconocidas como tratamientos basados en la evidencia. En este contexto, la presente monografía tiene como objetivo identificar las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness para el tratamiento del TEPT en población colombiana, a partir de la revisión de literatura científica publicada entre 2020 y 2024. Para ello, se
desarrolló una búsqueda en la base de datos Web Of Science aplicando criterios de inclusión y exclusión previamente definidos. Los hallazgos muestran que las MBI reducen significativamente la sintomatología asociada al TEPT y mejoran el bienestar psicológico, siendo además factibles de implementar en contextos grupales y comunitarios con bajo costo. No obstante, se evidencia una limitada producción científica en población colombiana, lo que subraya la necesidad de impulsar investigaciones locales que fortalezcan la implementación de estar intervenciones en el sistema de salud mental del país. En conclusión, la terapia basada en Mindfulness constituye una alternativa terapéutica prometedora, con potencial para ser integrada en las estrategias de salud mental en Colombia, orientadas a la prevención y tratamiento del TEPT.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition with significant clinical and social impact, associated with exposure to traumatic events that cause functional impairment, emotional distress, and loss of productivity. In the Colombian context, recent studies show a higher prevalence than that reported in other countries, influenced by contextual factors such as armed conflict, structural violence, and forced displacement. In response to this issue, Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) have emerged as a therapeutic alternative supported by scientific evidence, demonstrating positive effects in symptom reduction, emotional regulation, and overall well-being improvement. Among the most prominent modalities are Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness- Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), recognized as evidence-based treatments. In this context, the present monograph aims to describe the mindfulness-based interventions for the treatment of PTSD in the Colombian population, based on a review of scientific literature published between 2020 and 2024. To this end, a literature search was conducted in Web Of Science, applying previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings show that MBIs significantly reduce PTSD-related symptoms and improve psychological well-being, and are also feasible to implement in group and community settings at low cost. However, there is limited scientific output in the Colombian population, which underscores the need to promote local research to strengthen the implementation of these interventions in the country’s mental health system. In conclusion, mindfulness-based therapy constitutes a promising therapeutic alternative with the potential to be integrated into mental health strategies in Colombia aimed at the prevention and treatment of PTSD.
