Summary

This study looked at whether laughter yoga can help mothers of children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) feel more resilient and cope better. Forty mothers whose children had been in the PICU for at least a week took part. Some did short laughter yoga sessions over 3-4 days, while others got usual care. The goal was to see if this simple, fun activity could boost mental strength and coping skills.
