Genellikle kahkaha, mutluluğun görsel bir şekilde anlatımı ya da sevinç duygusu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Gülmenin insan vücudunu fizyolojik ve psikolojik olarak olumlu yönde etkilediği bilinmektedir. Kahkaha yogasını, gevşeme ve nefes egzersizlerinin birleşmesinden oluşan nefes teknikleri ve koşulsuz kahkahadan oluşan egzersizler oluşmaktadır. Kahkaha yogası farklı hastalıklara (kanser, diyabetes mellitus vb) bağlı ortaya çıkan semptomların şiddetinin azaltılmasında ve mevcut durumun (stres) iyileştirilmesinde bir hemşirelik girişimi olarak uygulanabilmektedir. Sağlık alanında oluşan teknolojik gelişmeler ve bilgi artışı ile beraber hemşirelerin rol ve sorumluluklarında da değişiklikler olmuş, geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıbbın hemşirelik girişimi olarak uygulanabileceği bildirilmiştir. Kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşan ve etkileri kanıtlanan bir girişim olan kahkaha yogasına ilişkin Türkiye'de yapılmış çok az çalışmaya ulaşıldı. Bu derlemede, kahkaha yogası ve etkileri hakkında sağlık profesyonellerini bilgilendirmek, kanıta dayalı uygulamalar çerçevesinde sağlığın geliştirilmesinde nasıl kullanılacağını anlatmak amaçlandı. Anahtar kelimeler: Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamaları; Hemşirelik; Kahkaha yogası; Yoga.
