About

Simulation education has become one of the innovative educational approaches that are widely used in providing nursing students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards vocational courses. Simulation education provides students with the opportunity to combine their knowledge and skills and provide nursing care in a high-reality environment. However, the fact that simulation training is a method that requires the student to recognize a clinical event, make a clinical decision, and intervene with the patient in line with this decision may cause students to experience anxiety and affect their learning. Although there are limited studies conducted on nursing students, it is stated that new approaches such as laughter yoga are effective in reducing anxiety and stress levels. In this direction, this research; In this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of laughter yoga in terms of reducing the anxiety experienced by nursing students during simulation training and increasing their learning satisfaction. The universe of the research will be the second-year students of Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing. As a result of the power analysis, it is aimed to reach 54 people. The study was planned in a randomized controlled design. Research data will be collected through Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students, and Students' Vital Findings Evaluation Form. With this study, it is predicted that laughter yoga to be applied to nursing students before simulation training will have a positive effect on state anxiety, student satisfaction, and perceived stress level.

Full description

The study will be carried out in a randomized controlled design with the aim of determining the effect of laughter yoga applied before the simulation training on the state anxiety, student satisfaction, and perceived stress level of nursing students. After the power analysis to calculate the sample size of the study, a total of 36 students will be included in each group with 90% power and 5% margin of error for multiple variance analysis in repeated measurements in a 2x2 factorial pattern between groups. In the research, students who have applied laughter yoga and simulation application together will form the intervention group, and students who only participated in the simulation application will form the control group.
