Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Laughter Therapy Group
A pre-test was administered to all students. In the pre-test application, the Descriptive Information Form, General Health Questionnaire-28, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Perceived Stress Scale were applied. Experimental and control groups were formed randomly among the students who filled all the scales. Communication groups were established for the students in both groups without being told which group they belonged to. Considering the hours suitable for the experimental group, 8 sessions of laughter therapy were applied for an average of 45 minutes. At the end of the therapy in the last session, a post-test was administered to all of the students. In the post-test application, the Descriptive Information Form, General Health Questionnaire-28, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Perceived Stress Scale were applied.
