Abstract
Mindfulness patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential for measuring the effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). While several mindfulness PROMs have been developed in the past ten years, a formal review of their psychometric property has yet to be performed to date. The following review used the Consensus-based Standards for selecting health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines for systematic reviews to assess the psychometric properties of 17 mindfulness PROMs. Structural validity, construct validity, content validity, internal consistency, reliability, measurement invariance, and responsiveness were explored. The feasibility and interpretability of mindfulness instruments were also examined. Results showed good structural validity and internal consistency for most PROMs but inconsistent content validity and no studies concerning measurement error. These results highlight how, while the psychometric qualities of the mindfulness measurement instruments are good, there is a lack of homogeneity in the definition of mindfulness and the constructs included in it. New trends in mindfulness research include Buddhist-based mindfulness PROMs, new instruments based on cognitive conceptualizations of mindfulness, and the use of ecological momentary assessments of mindfulness.
