AB Over the last few years, the importance of Mindfulness in the field of research has grownexponentially, as it has demonstrated various benefits in improving mental health, although there arestill various difficulties in putting these techniques into practice among the university population.However, Virtual Reality is emerging as a tool to improve the implementation of these techniques.For this reason, a systematic review was carried out of the different studies that aim to analyze theimpact of the use of Virtual Reality for the implementation of Mindfulness techniques that contributeto the improvement of mental health among the university population at national and internationallevels. For this review, different international reference databases were searched, such as Web ofScience and Scopus, and all selected articles had to be published in the period between 2010 and2024. The selected publications had to be primary research involving a Mindfulness intervention,carried out among university students, and whose main tool for its implementation was VirtualReality. A total of seventy-eight studies were initially identified, from which fourteen were selected,as the rest did not meet the inclusion criteria. In sum, the results show that the use of Virtual Realityas a tool for the implementation of Mindfulness techniques is certainly effective in reducing andmitigating high levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among university students. All of the researchanalyzed shows a substantial improvement in the quality of life, mental health, and life satisfactionof the participants
