ABSTRACT:
Background of the study: Nursing profession is a disciplined profession involved in the delivery of health to the society also it is helping profession, service oriented to maintain health and well- being of people, an art and science. Although people from all walks of life experience stress on daily basis, students are more likely to experience stressful situations because of their academic requirements Therefore, it is of urgent need to identify stressors among nursing students and find appropriate methods to manage them effectively. Aim: The main aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of laughter on academic stress among nursing students in selected nursing institution at Mysuru. Objectives: The following are the objectives of the study.
1. To assess the pre-existing level of academic stress among the nursing students.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of laughter on level of academic stress among nursing students
3. To determine the association between the level of pre-test academic stress scores with their selected demographic variables.
Methodology: The research design adopted for this study was pre-experimental design (one group pre-test & post-test). The present study consisted of 60 nursing students. The data was collected with the personal proforma for selected demographic variables and Modified Perceived Academic Stress Scale to assess the level of academic stress among nursing students. The tool was validated by 5 experts and reliability of tool was established through test-retest method. The tool was administered to 30 students to check the reliability of the tool and the value was obtained. The study was feasible. The data analysis was done by both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: Results revealed that 66.68% (40) of the nursing students have moderate stress and 16.66% (10) of them have severe stress and 16.66% (10) have mild stress. The level of pre-test academic stress scores of nursing students was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance for demographic variables like habits and age and were not significant for gender and stress reduction programme. Conclusion: The findings of present study concluded that the video-assisted laughter and demonstration on academic stress was very effective in reducing academic stress among nursing students at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, the study gave the evidence that laughter can reduce academic stress of nursing students and it will help them to improve their quality of life.
KEYWORDS: Academic stress, Laughter, Nursing students.
INTRODUCTION:
According to WHO, health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well- being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Adolescence is the phase of life between childhood and adulthood, from ages 10 to 19. It is a unique stage of human development and an important time for laying the foundations of good health. Adolescents experience rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial growth making them more prone to stress1.
The term “stress” as it is currently used was coined by Hans Selye in 1936, who defined it as “the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change”. The situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rockyrelationship. However, anything that puts high demands on you can be stressful. This includes positive events such as getting married, buying a house, going to college, or receiving a promotion. Of course, not all stress is caused by external factors. Stress canalso be internal or self-generated, when you worry excessively about something that may or may not happen, or have irrational, pessimistic thoughts about life2.
Based on National Mental Health Association report, the results of the recent studies conducted in London Wolfson Health Sciences Institute show that 46% of male students and 64% of female students suffer from anxiety while 12% of male students and 15% of female students suffer from depression. The counselors in the above-mentioned institute reported an increase in students’ referrals to counseling centers from 2.4 out of 100,000 students in the year 1995 to 9.7 out of 100,000 in the year 20003.
It is important for the academic to maintain well balanced academic environment for better learning. Academic stressors are related to Institutions studying for university examinations, completion of assignments and seminars, parental pressureand above all large amount of content to master within a limited time. As per the study conducted by National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience (NIMHANS) about the growing number of suicides in India among school and college going students, 11% of college students and 7 to 8% of high school students have attempted suicide because of stress. Depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, irritability are few of the many problems reported in students with high academic stress4.
Laughter is a complex emotional response to one’s environment, situation, and stimuli. Studied for many years, it was not generally perceived to have any particular healing effect until 1979, when Norman Cousins published As Anatomy of an Illness. Since that time, interest in laughter as a potential therapeutic option has grown, both in popular culture as well as in scientific research5.
Nursing profession is a disciplined profession involved in the delivery of health to the society also it is helping profession, service oriented to maintain health and well- being of people, an art and science. But the nursing profession comes with stress both mentally and physically because of its fast- paced and emotional nature. Nursing colleges are now recognized as a stressful environment that often exerts a positive effect on the academic performances and psychological well-being of students. The life of a student may be affected by different stressors in both the internal and external environment. Although people from all walks of life experience stress on daily basis, students are more likely to experience stressful situations because of their academic requirements6.
Academic sources of stress are examination, long hours of study assignments, grade, lack of free time, lack of timely feedback after their performance, special elements of the academic program like arrangement and conduction of workshop. Clinical sources of stress are like taking care of ill patients, inter personals conflicts with peer group, insecurity about personal clinical competence fear to complete clinical requirement, dealing with uncooperative patients, work load, prolonged standing learning psycho-motor skills e.g.-handling unconscious patients, bed bath and vital signs monitoring have also been associated with high level of stress. The reaction of parents and friends to the results weigh upon the student to create exam stress, lack of interest to study and inability to follow the professor cause disinterest in attending classes7.
In the recent years, there is a growing appreciation of the stresses involved in nursing students. Nursing students suffer from high level of stress related to introduction of new study subjects, increased academic assignments and clinical skill training. It is important for nursing educators and students to know the prevalence of academic stressamong nursing students8.
A cross sectional descriptive study conducted to assess the perceived stress among nursing students at Maharishi Markandeshwara University, Mullana. The study included 400 of students who were currently studying in the college of nursing. Out of total 400 students, 282 completed and returned the questionnaire. Out of this majority (39.7%) were experiencing high level of stress, 23.7% moderate stress and 28.4% mild stress9.
A cross-sectional study conducted to assess the perceived stress and source of stress among undergraduate medical students in Mysore Medical College. Study included 303 samples selected by simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by using Perceived stress scale and Stressor questionnaire was used to assess the source of stress. The study results shows that 51.5% were male and 48.5% were females. The prevalence of mild, moderate and severe stress was 20%, 74% and 6% respectively10.
Stress is a double-edged sword that can either stimulate and motivate students to peak performance or reduce students to ineffectiveness. Therefore, it is of urgent need to identify stressors among nursing students and manage them appropriately11.
1. Studies related to assess the incidence and prevalence of academic stress among nursing students
2. Studies related to assess the effectiveness of laughter on academic stress.
A Non-Experimental Exploratory study was carried out to assess the academic stress and coping strategies used among the undergraduate nursing students from selected colleges of Pune city. Data was collected from 60 undergraduate nursing students selected by non- Probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using Academic Stress Scale. The descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The result of the study revealed that majority of 53.33% of students had moderate stress (99-147), 31.67% of them had slight stress (50-98) and 15% of them had high stress (148-196)12.
A non-experimental descriptive study was conducted to assess the academic stress among nursing students in Sri Ramachandra Institute of higher education and research. Study included 75 students from III-year B.Sc. nursing students selected by purposive sampling technique. Academic stress scale and questionnaires were used to collect data. Study revealed that majority 58(77.3%) had severe level of academic stress, and 17(22.7%) of them had moderate level of stress in relation to personal inadequacy; regarding fear of failure, majority 64 (85.3%) of them had moderate level of stress and 10 (13.3%) of them had severe stress and only one (1.03%) person had mild level of stress. The present study concludes that majority of the students studying in 3rd year had moderate level of academic stress13.
A descriptive study was conducted in the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University to assess the academic stress and its contributing factors among 600 baccalaureate nursing students selected by using the equal allocation method. Data structured interview and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used for data collection. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20. The study showed that more than three quarters (79.7%) of the students had high academic stress level and the rest (20.3%) of them had moderate academic stress. The findings of the present study revealed that academic stress is a prevalent problem among nursing students as all nursing students experienced moderate and high stress level14.
A cross sectional study was conducted regarding the stress among undergraduate nursing students of Lucknow city and determine the risk factors causing stress among 380 B.Sc nursing students selected by simple random sampling method. Data was collected by using semi structured questionnaire and DASS 42 scale. Data was analysed through SPSS, version 23.0. Study findings revealed that 60% of total nursing student from government college were stressed with majority of the students (23.0%) were having moderate stress, 62.0% of students from private nursing college were stressed with majority of the students (27.6%) were having moderate stress and 1.0% had extremely severe stress17.
A cross sectional study was conducted to assess the psychological morbidity, sources of stress and coping strategies among undergraduate medical students of Manipal college of medical science, Pokhara, Nepal. 525 samples were selected using survey method. A 24-item questionnaire was used to assess sources of stress and their severity. The coping strategies adopted was assessed using brief COPE inventory and psychological morbidity was assessed using general health questionnaire. The study showed that the overall prevalence of psychological stress was 20.9% and was higher among students of basic sciences, Indian nationality and whose parents were medical doctors. The study concluded the most common sources of stress were related to academic and psychosocial concerns18.
The following are the objectives of the study:
1. To assess the pre-existing level of academic stress among the nursing students.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of laughter on academic stress among nursing students.
3. To determine the association between the level of pre-test academic stress scores with their selected demographic variables.
1. Assess: In this study, it refers to the information gathered through rating scale to monitor level of academic stress among nursing students.
2. Effectiveness: In this study, it refers to the expected outcome of videos of laughter and demonstration of laughter techniques on reducing academic stress among nursing students.

Selection and development of data collection tool:
A Modified Perceived Academic Stress Scale was prepared to collect the data to achieve the objectives of the study based on review of literature and consultation with experts. A thorough review of literature from journals, articles, published and unpublished research studies help the researcher to develop the tool.
The data collection tool in the study consisted of two parts.
It consists of selected demographic variables of participants.
It consists of a Modified Perceived Academic Stress Scale to assess the level of academic stress among nursing students.
Demographic variables:
The demographic variables were used to collect the sample characteristics like age, gender, year of study, have you attended any stress reduction programme and habits.
A Modified Perceived Academic Stress Scale was developed to assess the level of academic stress of nursing students. Extensive literature was reviewed in the area of academic stress. A blue print was prepared with content areas divided under academic, clinical and personal stressors. The stress scale consists of 40 items in total. There were five alternative Reponses from which the participants had to choose and tell one best response. The five responses were strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree.
From 40 items, 31 positive statements were scored as, 5 score for strongly agree, 4 score for agree, 3 score for neutral, 2 score for disagree and 1 score for strongly disagree. The remaining 9 statements were considered negative and scored as 5 score for strongly disagree, 4 score for disagree, 3 score for neutral, 2 score for agree and 1 score for strongly agree. The total stress level ranged from 40-200. In order to categorize, the stress level was arbitrarily divided into mild stress (40-100), moderate stress (101-150) and severe stress (151-200).
Content validity:
The modified perceived academic stress scale was submitted to 5 experts from nursing field and were requested to give their opinions and suggestions regarding the items. There was 100% agreement by all experts. However, there were a few suggestions to modify some items and they were incorporated in the final draft.
Pilot study is the small-scale trail run, one in preparation of the main study. The setting selected for the pilot study was St. Alphonsa College of Nursing, Mysuru. The study was conducted from 29-11-22 to 06-12-22 after taking permission from the concerned authorities. 6 samples were selected by non-probability purposive sampling technique. The data was collected by administering personal proforma and modified perceived academic stress scale to assess the level of academic stress among the nursing students. The purpose of pilot study was to test the data collection instrument, to find the feasibility of conducting the study and to decide upon the statistical analysis.
Data analysis is a systematic organization and synthesis of research data and testing of research hypotheses using those data. Data analysis consists of examining, categorizing, tabulating or otherwise re-combining the evidence to address initial proposition of the study. Data obtained would be coded and edited into a master sheet. It was planned to use descriptive and inferential statistics for data analysis.

The data presented in table- 4 shows that the mean difference between pre-test and post-test academic stress scores is 7.17. This indicates a decrease in academic stress score after undergoing video-assisted laughter and demonstration. To find the significance of decrease in stress, paired ‘t’ test was computed and the obtained value of ‘t’ (59) = 27.57 was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance. So, the researcher inferred that research hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected.
To find the association between level of pre-test academic stress scores with selected demographic variables, chi- square was computed.
To test the statistical significance and following null hypothesis was stated.

The data presented in table-5 shows that the computed chi- square values of pre-test academic stress scores among nursing students were found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance for demographic variables like habits and age and were not significant for gender and stress reduction programme. So, researcher partially accepts the research hypothesis and rejects the null hypothesis.
CONCLUSION:
An pre-experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of laughter on academic stress among nursing students at JSS College of Nursing, Mysuru. The data was collected from 60 nursing students and was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented in the form of graphs and tables. We have used selected demographic variables regarding the samples and also 40 items were given in modified perceived academic stress scale in which the interpretation of the stress scores was mild stress (40-100), moderate stress (101-150) and severe stress (151-200).
The research findings were shown that the values of pre-test academic stress scores of nursing students were found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance for demographic variables like habits and age and were not significant for gender and stress reduction programme. So, the researcher partially accepts the research hypothesis and rejects the null hypothesis.
In the present study, in pre-test majority 50% (30) of them have moderate stress, 33.34% (20) have severe stress and 16.66% (10) of them have mild stress. Whereas in the post test, 66.68% (40) of them have moderate stress and 16.66% (10) of them have severe stress and 16.66% (10) have mild stress.
The mean difference between the mean pre-test and mean post-test academic stress scores was 7.17 with the standard deviation difference of ±2.03. The paired ‘t’ (59) = 27.57 was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance.
The findings of present study concluded that the video-assisted laughter and demonstration on academic stress was very effective in reducing academic stress among nursing students at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, the study gave the evidence that laughter can reduce academic stress of nursing students and it will help them to improve their quality of life.
