The aim of this study was to examine the effect of laughter yoga applied to intensive care nurses on perceived stress, job motivation, and mental well-being.
This study was a randomized controlled trial.
The study was conducted with nurses working at the university hospital's surgical intensive care and anesthesia intensive care units of the third-level intensive care unit in Turkey. Data obtained from 30 participants in the intervention group and 33 participants in the control group were analyzed. The Nurse Introduction Form, Nurse Job Motivation Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale were used to collect data. Data obtained from the study were evaluated using the SPSS 22.0 package.
It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in the average scores of the pretest/posttest 1/posttest 2 of the Perceived Stress Scale (13.70 ± 3.33 to 14.57 ± 4.57, P > .05; 13.50 ± 3.15 to 13.48 ± 4.59, P > .05; and 13.56 ± 3.15 to 13.15 ± 3.49, P > .05, respectively) and Work Motivation Scale (59.70 ± 7.58 to 59.69 ± 7.98, P > .05; 60.30 ± 8.07 to 58.48 ± 8.94, P > .05; and 60.56 ± 7.86 to 57.93 ± 9.54, P > .05, respectively) for both the intervention and control groups of nurses. A statistically significant difference was found in the average scores of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale pretest/posttest 1/posttest 2 for the intervention group of nurses (50.90 ± 7.60, 51.50 ± 7.80, and 53.70 ± 7.08, respectively; F = 3.330, P = .043). However, the difference was found to be insignificant in pairwise comparisons in the further analysis (a = b = c). It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in the average scores of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale pretest/posttest 1/posttest 2 for the control group of nurses (52.21 ± 9.89, 51.93 ± 10.45, and 51.03 ± 9.63, respectively; P > .05).
The application of laughter yoga on intensive care nurses did not result in a significant change in perceived stress levels and work motivation. However, statistically significant differences were observed in the average mental well-being scores among the intervention group.
本研究旨在探讨笑瑜伽对重症监护护士的压力知觉、工作动机和心理健康的影响。
这是一项随机对照试验。
研究对象为土耳其某三级重症监护病房的外科重症监护病房和麻醉重症监护病房的护士。对 30 名干预组和 33 名对照组护士的数据进行了分析。采用护士介绍表、护士工作动机量表、压力知觉量表和沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表收集数据。研究数据采用 SPSS 22.0 软件包进行评估。
干预组和对照组护士的压力知觉量表（13.70 ± 3.33 至 14.57 ± 4.57，P >.05；13.50 ± 3.15 至 13.48 ± 4.59，P >.05；和 13.56 ± 3.15 至 13.15 ± 3.49，P >.05）和工作动机量表（59.70 ± 7.58 至 59.69 ± 7.98，P >.05；60.30 ± 8.07 至 58.48 ± 8.94，P >.05；和 60.56 ± 7.86 至 57.93 ± 9.54，P >.05）的前测、后测 1 和后测 2的平均得分均无统计学意义。然而，对干预组护士的沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表的前测、后测 1 和后测 2 的平均得分进行方差分析，结果显示有统计学差异（F = 3.330，P =.043）。然而，进一步的两两比较分析显示，差异无统计学意义（a = b = c）。对照组护士的沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表的前测、后测 1 和后测 2 的平均得分无统计学差异（52.21 ± 9.89，51.93 ± 10.45，和 51.03 ± 9.63，P >.05）。
笑瑜伽应用于重症监护护士并没有导致压力知觉和工作动机的显著变化。然而，干预组的平均心理健康评分有统计学意义。
