Summary

Midwives, who have an important place in the health system, are expected to be equipped to meet the health care needs of women (Fışkın \& Doğan, 2020). Therefore, midwifery students, who are known to play a role in promoting women's health, should have good interpersonal relationships, good problem-solving skills, and high self-reflection and insight, which are assumed to be effective in both, in order to fulfill these responsibilities.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

psychotherapy of interpersonal relationships

Group KIPT will be 1 session per week and each session will last 90 minutes. There will be 7 sessions in total, and a completion session will be held 2 weeks after the completion of Group KIPT. In order for the students in G1 to understand which group they are in, they will also be informed about the points to be considered regarding laughter therapy. An unstructured laughter intervention will be applied at the beginning or at the end of the sessions in which group IPT is applied. Measurements will be made using "ANNEX-3, ANNEX-4, ANNEX-5, ANNEX-6" in the 4th week (intervention interval), 8th week (end of intervention) and 12th week (long-term effect). Within the scope of work packages 3 and 4, KIPT application and other measurements will be made.

BEHAVIORAL

laughter therapy

Laughter therapy is 1 session per week and each session will last 40 minutes. A total of 8 sessions will continue. Each session will start with warm-up and deep breathing exercises and will continue with applause and childish games. Afterwards, games specific to each session will be added. Unstructured interviews will be conducted with G2 at the beginning or at the end of the session, suggesting that they were subjected to group CIPT. Measurements will be made using "ANNEX-3, ANNEX-4, ANNEX-5, ANNEX-6" in the 4th week (intervention interval), 8th week (end of intervention) and 12th week (long-term effect) when the interviews start.
