Mindfulness-based interventions for children and adolescents across all settings: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Although mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are becoming increasingly popular, the application of MBIs with children and adolescents is still in its infancy. Mapping the existing literature is necessary to help guide pediatric mindfulness interventions. Our purpose is to synthesize the evidence of reported MBIs for children and adolescents with and without physical, mental, and cognitive disorders. Accordingly, we aim to identify trends and gaps in the literature, so that we can provide direction to researchers who seek to advance the evidence base for using MBIs in pediatric populations.

Methods

Our search strategy will be conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework. It will include a comprehensive search of published studie
