Premenstrual Syndrome and Laughter Yoga
Sponsor: Pamukkale University
Summary
In addition to physical and emotional effects, premenstrual syndrome can negatively affect the participation in classes, school success, social activities and family relationships of young adolescents in high school. Many non-pharmacological treatments have been found to improve premenstrual syndromes in adolescents. Laughter yoga, one of these methods, is a practice consisting of deep breathing exercises and laughter exercises. Laughter yoga has been studied in different sample groups (elderly people, nurses, dialysis patients, etc.) and positive results have been obtained. In this study, the effect of laughter yoga on premenstrual symptoms in adolescents will be examined.
