简要总结
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of laughter yoga on the burnout levels and stress of nurses. The main questions of the study are as follows:
- What is the burnout level of nurses in the control and intervention groups?
- What is the stress level of nurses in the control and intervention groups?
- Has there been a change in the burnout levels of nurses practicing laughter yoga?
- Has there been a change in the stress levels of nurses practicing laughter yoga? To compare whether laughter yoga affects burnout and stress levels, participants will be divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group will undergo laughter yoga sessions twice a week for one month.
详细描述
The study examines the stress and burnout levels of nurses and their causes. Stress in nurses arises from factors such as working conditions, compatibility with colleagues, and insufficient equipment, among others. When this stress becomes chronic, it is referred to as burnout. The Maslach Burnout Inventory will be used to assess burnout levels, while the Nurse Stress Scale will be used to assess stress levels. Laughter yoga will be employed as a coping method.
Laughter serves the function of engaging and relaxing effective muscles, improves respiratory functions, regulates blood circulation, reduces stress hormones, boosts the immune system's defenses, raises pain thresholds and tolerance, and enhances mental function. Many studies have observed that the positive effects of laughter yoga on human psychology are beneficial for burnout syndrome. This research will investigate how laughter yoga affects burnout and stress levels.

Maslach burnout ineventory
时间窗: 1 month
The scale consists of 22 items in a 5-point Likert format (0: Never, 1: Very Rarely, 2: Sometimes, 3: Often, 4: Always). It has three dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion (EE, 9 items), Depersonalization (D, 5 items), and Personal Accomplishment Deficiency (PAD, 8 items). EE refers to the emotional overload an individual feels due to their work and is the most significant predictor of burnout. D represents attitudes and behaviors exhibited by the individual without regard to the fact that the people they serve are unique individuals, displaying a lack of emotion. PAD is defined as the inability to cope with problems successfully and feeling insufficient. Individuals experiencing burnout are expected to have high scores in EE (0-36), D (0-20), and PAD (0-32). The Cronbach Alpha coefficients for the three subdimensions of the scale are 0.83 for emotional exhaustion, 0.65 for depersonalization, and 0.72 for personal accomplishment deficiency.
Nurse Stress Scale
时间窗: 1 month
The original "Nurse Job Stress Scale," developed by Gray-Toft and Anderson, consists of 34 items and seven factors. These factors include: Uncertainty Related to Treatment (8 items = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8), Workload (6 items = 9,10,11,12,13,14), Patient Death (5 items = 15,16,17,18,19), Conflict with Physicians (5 items = 20,21,22,23,24), Conflict with Other Nurses (5 items = 25,26,27,28,29), Inadequate Support (3 items = 30,31,32), and Suffering Patient (2 items = 33,34). It is rated using a 4-point Likert system, where (1 point) means never, (2 points) sometimes, (3 points) often, and (4 points) very often. The Cronbach α reliability coefficient of the original scale has been found to be between α = .89 and α = .65 for the subfactors. A high total score indicates that the nurse experiences more frequent periods of stress related to individual stress issues in the physical, psychological, and environmental contexts.
