Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Midwives, who have an important place in the health system, are expected to be equipped to meet the health care needs of women (Fışkın \& Doğan, 2020). Therefore, midwifery students, who are known to play a role in promoting women's health, should have good interpersonal relationships, good problem-solving skills, and high self-reflection and insight, which are assumed to be effective in both, in order to fulfill these responsibilities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Self-reflection supports the development of strategies for self-monitoring and professional competence by improving problem-solving skills. Self-reflection serves as an important building block in the integration and structuring of experience and sense of self, as well as providing continuity, coherence and meaning to life. It is thought that midwives with self-reflection will be more logical, healthy, happy and successful. It is seen that midwives with high self-reflection are dedicated to lifelong learning, examining, reflecting and developing, and develop personally and professionally (Bass et al., 2022). The quality of care will increase as midwives who develop self-reflection can observe, investigate, evaluate and discover events with a realistic eye while providing care, thus the midwifery profession will progress as a scientific discipline.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Group KIPT will be 1 session per week and each session will last 90 minutes. There will be 7 sessions in total, and a completion session will be held 2 weeks after the completion of Group KIPT. In order for the students in G1 to understand which group they are in, they will also be informed about the points to be considered regarding laughter therapy. An unstructured laughter intervention will be applied at the beginning or at the end of the sessions in which group IPT is applied.

Measurements will be made using "ANNEX-3, ANNEX-4, ANNEX-5, ANNEX-6" in the 4th week (intervention interval), 8th week (end of intervention) and 12th week (long-term effect). Within the scope of work packages 3 and 4, KIPT application and other measurements will be made.
