Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study sample will include 68 volunteer students who meet the inclusion criteria and provide parental consent. Participants will be assigned to four groups using stratified simple randomization: Intervention I, Intervention II, Control I, and Control II.
* Intervention I Group: Participants will complete a pre-test, receive a single-session health education on stress and coping, followed by laughter yoga sessions conducted twice weekly for six weeks (total of 12 sessions). A post-test will be administered at the end.
* Intervention II Group: Participants will receive the same health education and laughter yoga intervention without a pre-test. Post-test will be conducted after the sessions.
* Control I Group: Participants will complete the pre-test but will not receive any intervention during the study. A post-test will be applied at the end of the study, followed by an optional laughter yoga session.
* Control II Group: Participants will not complete a pre-test or receive any intervention. A post-test will be administered at the end of the study, followed by an optional laughter yoga session.
The assessment tools include the "Digital Game Addiction Scale for Children" and the "Adolescent Stress Questionnaire - Short Form." At the end of the intervention, participant satisfaction will also be assessed using group-specific satisfaction questionnaires.
Data analysis will involve descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and appropriate inferential tests based on the distribution of the data. Parametric or non-parametric tests will be used as applicable. Linear models will assess the main effects of group and time, as well as the interaction between them. The significance level will be set at p\<0.05.
This research is expected to contribute to school-based public health interventions by evaluating a combined strategy involving health education and a non-pharmacological stress management technique (laughter yoga) among adolescents.
