Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if laughter yoga can improve both individual and organizational outcomes in nurse managers. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does laughter yoga lower burnout and stress levels in nurse managers?
* Does laughter yoga improve work-life quality and job performance?
* Does laughter yoga help nurse managers make better decisions and solve problems more effectively?

Participants will:
* Join structured laughter yoga sessions for a defined period (weekly sessions).
* Complete surveys before and after the program about stress, burnout, work-life quality, decision-making, problem solving, job performance, compassion fatigue, and conflict approaches.
* Continue their usual work while attending sessions.
