| Key findings | PMS was significantly correlated with mindfulness, perceived social support, and health-related quality of life, and the authors report that perceived social support and health-related quality of life mediate the relationship between PMS and mindfulness among deaf and hard-of-hearing women. Perceived social support and health-related quality of life were negatively related to each other, and both had direct effects on mindfulness. |
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and mindfulness as well as the mediating role of perceived social support (PSS) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among deaf/hard-of-hearing women. This is a cross-sectional study. An overall sample of 202 participants was selected. Path analysis was used. As indicated by the results obtained, PMS correlated significantly with mindfulness, PSS, and HRQoL. Moreover, mindfulness correlated significantly and positively with PSS and HRQoL. Besides, there is a significant negative relationship between PSS and HRQoL. PMS has direct effects on PSS and HRQoL. In addition, both PSS and HRQoL have immediate impacts on mindfulness. To conclude, this study examined and confirmed the relationship between PMS and mindfulness as mediated by PSS and HRQoL among deaf/hard-of-hearing women.
