It is based on the original model developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues (MBSR), and subsequently adapted by our research group in order to fit it better into the context and needs of Primary Care (PC) and national and local Health Systems, which has been applied by the Center Mente Aberta in Brazil (www.mindfulnessbrasil.com), and by the University of Zaragoza, in Spain (www.webmindfulness.com).
