Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of laughter yoga on self-management skills and comfort levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description:
Diabetes is a major global health problem affecting more than 537 million adults worldwide, a number expected to rise substantially in the coming decades. Type 2 diabetes, the most prevalent form, requires consistent self-management to maintain glycemic control and prevent complications. However, individuals living with chronic illness often experience ongoing physiological fatigue and emotional stress, which can reduce self-efficacy and hinder engagement in self-management behaviors. Comfort, identified as an important psychological resource, plays a supportive role in sustaining these behaviors.
Katharine Kolcaba's Comfort Theory proposes that health behaviors can be positively influenced by enhancing individuals' physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural, and environmental comfort. Laughter Yoga-a mind-body intervention combining intentional laughter with breathing and relaxation techniques-has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and increase parasympathetic activity. Previous studies involving individuals with Type 2 diabetes have reported reductions in HbA1c, decreased stress levels, and improved quality of life following Laughter Yoga interventions. However, limited research has simultaneously examined its effects on both self-management behaviors and comfort levels.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of Laughter Yoga on self-management behaviors and comfort levels among individuals with Type 2 diabetes.
