Recent evidence indicates that humor is an important aspect of a
person's health, and studies have shown that increased levels of
humor help with stress, pain tolerance, and overall patient health
outcomes. Still, many healthcare providers are hesitant to use
humor in their practice for fear of offense or failure.
Understanding more of how and why humor works as well as some of
the issues related to real-world examples is essential to help
practitioners be more successful in their use and understanding of
humor in medical care. Through case studies and real-world
applications of therapeutic humor, the field can be better
understood and advanced for best practices and uses of this type of
therapy. With this growing area of interest, research on humor in a
patient care setting must be discussed. Cases on Applied and
Therapeutic Humor focuses on humor in medical care and will discuss
issues in humor research, assessment of the effectiveness of humor
in medical settings, and examples of medical care in specific
health settings. The chapters will explore how propriety,
effectiveness, perception, and cultural variables play a role in
using humor as therapy and will also provide practical case studies
from medical/healthcare professionals in which they personally
employed humor in medical practice. This book is ideal for medical
students, therapists, researchers interested in health, humor, and
medical care; healthcare professionals; humor researchers; along
with practitioners, academicians, and students looking for a deeper
understanding of the role humor can play as well as guidance as to
the effective and meaningful use of humor in medical/healthcare
settings.
