    Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the possible mediatör effect of mindfulness in the relationship between perceived stress and quality of life in pediatric asthma. Material and Method: The sample of this study consisted of 100 asthmatic children aged between 9-12 years who applied to the outpatient clinic of Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Division of Pediatric Allergy. Sociodemographic information forms, Perceived Stress Scale in Children (8-11 years), Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), and Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) were used as data collection tools. Linear hierarchical regression analysis was used during the process of analyzing data. Results: It has been identified that mindfulness has a partial mediatör effect on the relationship between perceived stress and quality of life (p = 0.000). The presence of a partial mediator effect of mindfulness has been determined in the relationship between perceived stress and symptoms which is the subscale of quality of life (p = 0.000). Finally, it has been demonstrated that mindfulness has a partial mediator effect on the relationship between perceived stress and emotional function which is another subscale of quality of life (p = 0.000). The mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between perceived stress and activity limitations could not be analyzed due to the lack of a significant correlation between activity limitations which is the subscale of quality of life and mindfulness (p=0.178). Conclusion: It can be helpful to add psychotherapy interventions involving mindfulness practices to asthma treatment for better control of the disease in children.

    Healing through art: a systematic review and meta-analysis of art therapy in children and adolescents with chronic illnesses
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-11) Yıldız, Ecemnur; Akçinar, Berna; İnci Namlı, Nur
    Children and adolescents with chronic illnesses face elevated risks of psychological difficulties, including anxiety and reduced quality of life (QoL). Art therapy (AT) has emerged as a promising intervention. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the effectiveness of AT in improving QoL, anxiety, and pain in this population. A comprehensive search identified a total of 12 randomized controlled trials from 2000 to 2024, including 408 participants aged 0–18. Data were analyzed using Hedges’ g and a random-effects model. Quality assessments followed the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool. Subgroup analyses explored potential moderators. QoL was analyzed separately by child and parent reports. AT showed a moderate, significant effect on child-reported QoL (Hedges’ g =.40, 95% CI [0.27; 0.53], p =.001) but a non-significant effect in parent reports (Hedges’ g =.43, 95% CI [−.03; 1.20], p =.21). A significant large effect was found for pain reduction (Hedges’ g = –.63, 95% CI [−1.19; −0.07], p =.03). For anxiety, AT had a large but non-significant effect (Hedges’ g = –.71, 95% CI [−2.24; 0.82], p =.23). Heterogeneity was substantial, but no significant publication bias was detected. AT appears promising for enhancing QoL, reducing pain in children with chronic illnesses. Further studies are needed to strengthen evidence and clarify clinical applications.
