Patient ages ranged from 15 to 75 years (M = 44.6, SD = 15.2).

These findings support the hypothesis that life-purpose may have some positive relationship with treatment compliance. We therefore speculate that effective asthmatic care and management should include psychological and logotherapeutic interventions." | ||
