Abstract

Despite rigorous theoretical and clinical training, nursing students face emotional and academic challenges that can harm their well-being. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of research investigating the impact of laughter yoga (LY) on nursing students' well-being, perceived stress, and self-efficacy. The aim of this single-blinded, two-armed randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of LY on nursing students' well-being, perceived stress, and academic self-efficacy (ASE). A total of five sessions of LY were applied to the intervention group. The analysis included a total of 83 nursing students (intervention group n = 41 and control group n = 42). Repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and paired-samples t-test were used for data analysis. Results revealed that the intervention group showed a significant increase in well-being (p < .001) and a decrease in perceived stress after LY (p < .01). However, statistically significant differences between the intervention and control groups were not found in well-being, perceived stress, and ASE (p > .05). These results indicate the potential effects of LY on the students' well-being and perceived stress. Community mental health nurses and educators can use LY to improve well-being in universities.

笑瑜伽对护理专业学生的幸福感、感知压力和学习自我效能感的影响：随机对照试验

尽管接受了严格的理论和临床培训，护理专业学生仍然面临着情绪和学业方面的挑战，这些挑战可能会损害他们的身心健康。然而，有关笑声瑜伽（LY）对护理专业学生的幸福感、感知压力和自我效能的影响的研究却很少。这项单盲双臂随机对照试验旨在评估笑瑜伽对护理专业学生的幸福感、感知压力和学术自我效能感（ASE）的影响。干预组共使用了五节 LY 课程。分析共包括 83 名护理专业学生（干预组 n = 41，对照组 n = 42）。数据分析采用了重复测量多元方差分析（MANOVA）和配对样本 t 检验。结果显示，干预组的幸福感明显增加（P .05）。这些结果表明了 LY 对学生幸福感和感知压力的潜在影响。社区心理健康护士和教育工作者可以利用 LY 提高大学学生的幸福感。
