ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a special training program called the "Laughter Yoga Supported Strong Woman, Safe Life Training Program" on women's attitudes towards violence, how they cope with stress, and their psychological flexibility. The program aims to empower women, helping them recognize and change harmful beliefs about violence, especially in relationships. Violence against women is a serious issue that affects not just the women themselves but also their families and communities. In Turkey, many women have experienced partner violence, and this program seeks to provide support and education to help women feel stronger and more resilient.

Women who are 18 years or older, have a partner, and are registered at a women's education and culture center may be eligible to participate. The trial involves three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Participants can expect to receive eight weeks of training that includes laughter yoga and discussions on important topics like self-knowledge and coping with stress. They will complete surveys before, after, and one month after the training to measure any changes in their attitudes and coping skills. This program not only aims to promote psychological well-being but also to foster a safer environment for women in their communities.
