Abstract

Objective: to identify the scientific evidence available in national and international literature on the relationships between nursing students' mindfulness and emotional regulation.

Methods: an integrative literature review, in four databases, with a time frame from January 2002 to December 2022. Articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese available in full were included.

Results: the sample consisted of six original articles, predominantly with a quantitative approach, with cross-sectional designs standing out.

Conclusion: the synthesis of scientific production revealed that there is a lack of research at national and international level on the subject with experimental and qualitative designs that enable conclusions about cause and effect and/or take into account subjective experiences of the applicability of mindfulness-based practice in nursing students' emotional regulation.
