Over the last few years, the importance of Mindfulness in the field of research has grown
exponentially, as it has demonstrated various benefits in improving mental health, although there are
still 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 the
impact of the use of Virtual Reality for the implementation of Mindfulness techniques that contribute
to the improvement of mental health among the university population at national and international
levels. For this review, different international reference databases were searched, such as Web of
Science and Scopus, and all selected articles had to be published in the period between 2010 and
2024. 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 Virtual
Reality. 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 Reality
as a tool for the implementation of Mindfulness techniques is certainly effective in reducing and
mitigating high levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among university students. All of the research
analyzed shows a substantial improvement in the quality of life, mental health, and life satisfaction
of the participants
