Summary

The effect of laughter yoga on a child's pre-operative anxiety.

Conditions

  • Pre-operative Anxiety

Interventions

OTHER

laughter therapy

Within the scope of the study, children in the intervention group-who are brought to the preoperative area one hour in advance as per routine practice-will be administered a pre-test by a blinded nurse researcher, followed by a laughter yoga session conducted by the researcher lasting approximately 30 minutes. To allow the physiological and psychological effects of the intervention to stabilize, the post-test will be administered 10 minutes after the session. In the control group receiving routine care without laughter yoga, the pre-test will be administered, and a post-test will be performed after a 40-minute waiting period to ensure consistency in the time criteria between the two groups.
