Study Groups

Experimental (laughter yoga) group
The intervention group will receive eight online laughter yoga sessions, two sessions per week for four weeks. In this study, the number of laughter yoga sessions was determined in line with the studies in the literature. Each laughter yoga session is planned to last approximately 40-45 minutes. Each session of laughter yoga consists of clapping and warm-up exercises, deep breathing exercises, childlike play and laughter.
Laughter yoga
Although the history of laughter yoga dates back to ancient times, its use in medicine has become widespread in the 21st century, while it is used to reduce pain, anxiety, stress, depression and fatigue, it is also a method that can be used to accelerate immunity, quality of life, happiness, sleep quality and recovery.
Control group
The control group will receive no intervention for 4 weeks.
