Mindfulness and self-compassion are effective and adaptable strategies in an academic environment that promote emotional regulation and psychological well-being. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the combined impact of mindfulness- and self-compassion-based interventions (MBSCIs) on psychological distress. It will also analyze their role as predictors of therapeutic change, as well as the moderating influence of sociodemographic and contextual factors.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Psicologíajournal article10.3390/ejihpe16040047open accessBienestar del estudianteUniversidadEstrés mentalAttribution 4.0 InternationalGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 4: Quality education
