| Summary: | This study examines the effect of religious coping on asthma control in asthmatic adults. The sample included 500 adults who visited outpatient clinics in western Türkiye between April 24 and October 30, 2024. The Patient Identification Form, Religious Coping Scale (RCS), and Asthma Control Test (ACT) were used. The mean ACT score was 14.27 ± 3.81, with 81.6% of participants having uncontrolled asthma (ACT score ≤ 19). Multiple regression analysis revealed that positive religious coping was positively associated with better asthma control (B = 0.287, p < 0.001), while negative religious coping was negatively associated with asthma control (B = − 0.378, p < 0.001). The explanatory power of religious coping on asthma control was 15.4% (Adjusted R2 = 0.154, p < 0.001). The indings highlight religious coping as a significant psychosocial support mechanism in asthma management, suggesting its potential to improve patient quality of life. Healthcare providers, especially nurses, should integrate coping support in asthma education. |
