Summary

This study tests whether a structured laughter yoga program can reduce burnout, stress, and compassion fatigue in nurse managers. Eighty nurse managers will either join laughter yoga sessions twice a week for 8 weeks or continue as usual. Researchers will measure changes in stress, burnout, work performance, and decision-making through surveys.
