Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if laughter yoga can improve both individual and organizational outcomes in nurse managers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does laughter yoga lower burnout and stress levels in nurse managers?
* Does laughter yoga improve work-life quality and job performance?
* Does laughter yoga help nurse managers make better decisions and solve problems more effectively?
* Does laughter yoga lower compassion fatigue and support positive approaches to workplace conflict? Researchers will compare a laughter yoga group with a control group to see if there are meaningful differences.

Participants will:

* Join structured laughter yoga sessions for a defined period (weekly sessions).
* Complete surveys before and after the program about stress, burnout, work-life quality, decision-making, problem solving, job performance, compassion fatigue, and conflict approaches.
* Continue their usual work while attending sessions.

Laughter Yoga Program

This intervention consists of a structured Laughter Yoga Program designed for nurse managers. Each session includes breathing exercises, warm-up activities, guided and simulated laughter exercises (such as clapping, chanting, role-play laughter), and a short relaxation/meditation phase. Sessions are conducted in small groups by a certified facilitator. The program is delivered twice weekly for 8 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. The intervention is intended to reduce burnout, stress, and compassion fatigue, while improving decision-making, problem-solving, job performance, and work-life balance.
