"Group KIPT will be 1 session per week and each session will last 90 minutes. There will be 7 sessions in total, and a completion session will be held 2 weeks after the completion of Group KIPT. In order for the students in G1 to understand which group they are in, they will also be informed about the points to be considered regarding laughter therapy. An unstructured laughter intervention will be applied at the beginning or at the end of the sessions in which group IPT is applied.~Measurements will be made using ANNEX-3, ANNEX-4, ANNEX-5, ANNEX-6 in the 4th week (intervention interval), 8th week (end of intervention) and 12th week (long-term effect). Within the scope of work packages 3 and 4, KIPT application and other measurements will be made."
