Sponsor's own description
Nursing students experience different levels of stress due to many reasons such as lifestyle, health, academic performance, competition, choice of profession, new living environment, relationships with peer group and expectations of parents. It is important to develop different coping behaviours/strategies to manage stressful situations. Laughter yoga has proven positive effects on physical and mental health. The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to examine the effects of laughter yoga on well-being, perceived stress and academic self-efficacy of nursing students.
