About

This study was conducted to find out the effect of yoga applied to asthma patients on the patients' respiratory functions, symptom control and quality of life.

Full description

While there are studies conducted with yoga on different patient groups in Turkey, no studies have been found on asthma patients specifically. For this reason, it was thought that studies are needed which will prove the effect of yoga practices in preventing and controlling symptoms of asthma patients and which will contribute to nursing literature.
