简要总结
The positive interaction between personal and business life results in the health of the healthcare personnel and the success of the institution. Burnout, which occurs as a result of a crisis in an individual's working life, manifests itself as fatigue, lack of energy, feeling inadequate in the professional role and lack of confidence.
Laughter, which helps people to endure stressful situations or processes, improves a person's problem-solving ability by reducing depression and increasing insight. For this reason, laughter reduces a person's exposure to negative environmental cues and helps them with self-control. Laughter, a positive emotion, appears to be a useful and healthy way to cope with stress. The aim of the research to be conducted is to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on the stress and burnout levels of midwives.
详细描述
The positive interaction between personal and business life results in the health of the healthcare personnel and the success of the institution.
People who are satisfied with their working environment work more efficiently. High job satisfaction levels of midwives who ensure that newborns, pregnant women and postpartum women, as well as newborns, pregnant women and postpartum mothers, receive quality care will ensure that the service they provide will be of higher quality.
Burnout, which occurs as a result of a crisis in an individual's working life, manifests itself as fatigue, lack of energy, feeling inadequate in the professional role and lack of confidence. This situation, which occurs in the healthcare worker, will negatively affect the quality of patient care as it will cause a regression in the healthcare worker's decision-making process and an increase in medical errors. Laughter, which helps people to endure stressful situations or processes, improves a person's problem-solving ability by reducing depression and increasing insight. For this reason, laughter reduces a person's exposure to negative environmental cues and helps them with self-control. Laughter, a positive emotion, appears to be a useful and healthy way to cope with stress. People gain a positive mood through laughter, and a negative mood, thought or personality can also be changed in a positive way. Laughter therapy, which is used to increase psychosocial behaviors, positively affects the general quality of life.
The aim of the research to be conducted is to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on the stress and burnout levels of midwives.
