简要总结
Nursing students experience different levels of stress due to many reasons such as lifestyle, health, academic performance, competition, choice of profession, new living environment, relationships with peer group and expectations of parents. It is important to develop different coping behaviours/strategies to manage stressful situations. Laughter yoga has proven positive effects on physical and mental health.
The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to examine the effects of laughter yoga on well-being, perceived stress and academic self-efficacy of nursing students.
详细描述
Laughter yoga, which is a combination of laughter and yoga with breathing techniques, is among traditional and complementary medicine practices. Based on the view that the brain cannot distinguish between real and unreal laughter, laughter yoga aims to benefit from the mental and physical benefits of laughter. Laughter yoga has benefits such as reducing stress and depression symptoms, relaxing muscle tone, increasing blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, increasing melatonin and growth hormone release, increasing pain threshold, strengthening the immune system.
Laughter yoga will be applied to the intervention group in 6 sessions (45 minutes each session). Well-being, Perceived Stress and Academic Self-Efficacy levels of the students will be evaluated before and after the intervention.
Hypotheses of the study; H1: The well-being level of the intervention group increases after laughter yoga.
H2: The academic self-efficacy level of the intervention group increases after laughter yoga.
H3: Perceived stress level of the intervention group decreases after laughter yoga.
