The  databases  SciELO.org,  PsycINFO  (APA),  Scopus  (Elsevier),  PUBMED,  Web  of Science, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and Periodical CAPES were used to search for scientific studies on the topics February2022. Additionally, inclusion and exclusion criteria were adopted for the choice of material and, after the selection and eligibility  steps,  following  the  PRISMA  protocol,  three  studies  were  selected.  The results   indicated  adjustments  in  the  preparation  and  delivery   of  proposals   in mindfulness  and  the  effects  of  the  intervention  on  the  mental  health  of  the  deaf population.  In  addition,  the  research  found  did  not  address  the  topic  of  self-compassion.  It  is  suggested  that  further  research  can  discuss  the  issues  in  question with deaf or hard of hearing people.
