Laughter Yoga Effect on Cancer Patients' Physiopsychological Symptoms

Sponsor: Ataturk University

Summary

The universe of this study will consist of cancer patients and their relatives who are hospitalized in the medical oncology clinic of Atatürk University Research and Practice Hospital between Oct 2024 and Feb 2024. The researcher will stratify the patients in the control and intervention groups according to age and the type of treatment they receive in order to ensure homogeneity. Accordingly, the patient in each stratum will be selected from one of the labels prepared in a bag with the words "experimental" and "control" written on it and the patient will be included in the group written on the label. The patients in the control and intervention groups will not know which group they are in, but only the researcher will know who is in which group. In this way, blinding will be ensured and the study will be completed as single-blind.
