Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has shown potential in reducing anxiety-related symptoms. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of MBSR in treating anxiety disorders in individuals aged 13-26. The review addresses three key themes: "The Prevalence and Impact of Anxiety Disorders in Everyday Life," "The Efficacy and Effectiveness of MBSR in the Management of Anxiety Disorders," and "The Techniques and Interventions of MBSR in Anxiety Treatment." A total of nine studies were included in the meta-analysis, focusing on individuals aged 13-26 participating in MBSR interventions. The findings consistently indicate significant reductions in level of anxiety, along with improvements in emotional regulation and coping skills. These results suggest that MBSR is an effective therapeutic tool for managing anxiety disorders in this demographic, demonstrating notable efficacy across diverse settings. Meta-analytic evidence, following PRISMA guidelines, indicates MBSR as a powerful intervention for reducing anxiety and enhancing overall mental health within this age group. The review emphasizes the necessity for practitioners to incorporate MBSR into clinical practice as it offers benefits for long-term anxiety management.
