The Effect of Laughter Yoga Practiced After Burn Dressing

Burn is a serious trauma that causes acute damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissues due to the effect of heat, electricity, radiation, physical, and chemical substances. Research shows a relationship between burn dressing changes and increased pain, anxiety, and stress. It can also be said that anxiety negatively affects wound healing. This study aimed to determine the effect of Laughter Yoga, a non-drug method, on reducing or completely eliminating pain and anxiety after burn dressing and increasing the level of mental well-being. This study is planned to be conducted in a randomized manner.
