Before starting the analysis of the research, the criteria of inclusion
and exclusion were considered. The data 100 of 101 participants were
included in the analysis of the research. One of participant’s data were
not included to the analyses, because of continuing psychiatric
treatment.
In this study, data of 100 participants were analyzed with SPSS version
23. Firstly, correlational relationships between variables were examined
by Pearson correlation analysis.
In the next step, regression analysis was conducted to control whether
have a significant mediator effect in correlative relationships. The
mediator variable analysis, there are four
considerations.28 These four considerations were the
effect of independent variable on dependent variable is significant; the
effect of independent variable on mediator variable is significant; the
effect of mediator variable on the dependent variable is significant and
when controlling the effect of mediator variable, loss of meaning of the
independent variable’s effect on the dependent variable. These
considerations were controlled and all analysis was implemented by
following the linear hierarchical regression analysis steps.
Finally, according to the participant’s asthma control level; perceived
stress, mindfulness and quality of life were examined by 3 different one
