Abstract:

 Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between mindfulness in society and quality of life. Materials and Methods: The data for this study were collected in July 2022 throughout Turkey through an online survey application using the snowball sampling method. The research was completed with 387 participants aged 18 and over in Turkey. The Independent Sample t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H, Bonferroni correction, and Spearman correlation coefficient were employed in the data analysis. Results: Participants in the 35-44 age range, those who were married, those with income more than expenses, those with postgraduate education, and those who reported being present in the moment were found to have higher levels of life satisfaction p0.05. A positive correlation was found between life satisfaction and mindfulness p0.000. Conclusion: The study results indicate that as the level of mindfulness increased, life satisfaction also increased. It may be suggested to provide opportunities for mindfulness-based practices by providing information about mindfulness in society, to plan research with different designs to determine life satisfaction and mindfulness, and to set policies to increase life satisfaction in society.
