Summary

The positive interaction between personal and business life results in the health of the healthcare personnel and the success of the institution. Burnout, which occurs as a result of a crisis in an individual's working life, manifests itself as fatigue, lack of energy, feeling inadequate in the professional role and lack of confidence.

Laughter, which helps people to endure stressful situations or processes, improves a person's problem-solving ability by reducing depression and increasing insight. For this reason, laughter reduces a person's exposure to negative environmental cues and helps them with self-control. Laughter, a positive emotion, appears to be a useful and healthy way to cope with stress. The aim of the research to be conducted is to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on the stress and burnout levels of midwives.
