简要总结
Gestational Diabetes is one of the most common medical complications during pregnancy. It is seen between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy with the increase in insulin resistance in the second trimester and ends with the end of the birth process. Due to this feature, it is distinguished from Type 2 diabetes. This disease, which is seen for the necessary energy needs of the fetus and placenta, is defined as the diabetogenic effect of pregnancy.
Laughter is a universal response to humorous stimuli that exists in our lives. Laughter yoga is holistic with breathing techniques. It is a form of yoga that utilizes the brain's inability to distinguish between real and fake laughter. Laughter yoga helps people cope with stressful times and helps the person control themselves by reducing negative cognitive reactions. In line with this information, the aim of the study was to determine the effect of laughter yoga applied to pregnant women with gestational diabetes on perceived stress and quality of life.
详细描述
Gestational Diabetes is one of the most common medical complications during pregnancy. It is seen between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy with the increase in insulin resistance in the second trimester and ends with the end of the birth process. Due to this feature, it is distinguished from Type 2 diabetes. This disease, which is seen for the necessary energy needs of the fetus and placenta, is defined as the diabetogenic effect of pregnancy.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) defines GDM as "abnormal glucose tolerance that begins in pregnancy or is first diagnosed during pregnancy." However, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) want to distinguish cases with possible diabetes diagnosed before pregnancy and diagnosed during pregnancy from glucose intolerance that occurs as a result of pregnancy and is related to pregnancy. Laughter is a universal response to humorous stimuli that exists in our lives. Laughter yoga is holistic with breathing techniques. It is a form of yoga that utilizes the brain's inability to distinguish between real and fake laughter. Laughter yoga helps people cope with stressful times and helps the person control themselves by reducing negative cognitive reactions. Laughter yoga is a non-pharmacological and non-invasive alternative treatment method. Laughter yoga is a type of communication that combines pleasant emotions, smiles, and laughter. It is a different approach from medical treatments; indicates that the psychological aspects of the brain must change in order for both the mind and body to be healthy. Maternal complications increase in pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The prospective psychological concerns experienced by the pregnant woman (low risk, preterm birth, low birth weight) negatively affect the quality of life of the pregnant woman. In line with this information, the aim of the study was to determine the effect of laughter yoga applied to pregnant women with gestational diabetes on perceived stress and quality of life.
