Laughter therapy+Music listening+Keeping diary

Laughter therapy was carried out by the researcher as a total of three sessions every 15 days, and each session lasted 30 minutes. Participants listened to the types of music that they like (pop, Turkish folk music). In the meeting room in FHC, Two professional artists performed music recitals with a guitar and saz (qopuz) to pregnant women, and pregnant women actively participated in this process. The performance was carried out as three sessions, once every 15 days, and each session took 40 minutes. In addition to music listening and laughter therapy, the pregnant women were asked to keep a diary to write down their emotions about their health status, pregnancy and baby. Then, each participant had an opportunity to explain her emotions or replies to the questions during the group therapy sessions every 15 days so that pregnant women were able to express their feelings.
