First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether laughter yoga can reduce stress and improve self-efficacy in first-year nursing students. 88 students were split into two groups: one did laughter yoga, the other had traditional training. Researchers measured stress levels, coping behaviors, and self-confidence before and after the 4-week program. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to help students handle the pressures of clinical training.
