Summary

Brief Summary: The definition of individuals with disabilities, who are among the disadvantaged group, is defined by Law No. 5378 as "those who have difficulties in adapting to social life and meeting their daily needs due to the loss of their physical, mental, spiritual, sensory and social abilities at various degrees due to any congenital or subsequent reason; and a person who needs protection, care, rehabilitation, counseling and support services" (Law on the Disabled).

Due to the fact that the conditions and needs of physically disabled women are not well expressed, they have not benefited enough from services such as education and health and they have faced difficulties. No study has been found in the world or in our country that examines the effect of laughter yoga on physically disabled women and their relatives. In this study, it is thought that the practice of laughter yoga can increase the psychological well-being and quality of life of physically disabled women and their relatives.

Aim: This study was planned to measure the effect of laughter yoga on psychological well-being and quality of life in physically disabled women and their relatives.
