Humor and Laughter in Health Promotion Interventions and the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Disciplinary Narrative Review.
The evolution and purpose of humor have long been of interest to the scientific community. Humor and laughter play an important role in social, emotional, mental, and physical health and well-being. The purpose of this narrative review is to explore perspectives and research findings of studies on the role of humor and laughter in health promotion and direct care interventions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Also discussed is the cross-disciplinary context of studies during the global pandemic, which illustrates the complexity of humor in human behavior and its manifestation in healthcare environments and public health outcomes. This review of studies on humor and laughter behaviors employed during the COVID-19 pandemic points to the need for further work on the potential of humor and laughter for use in direct care interventions, health messaging, health education, and in improving the social bonds and connections among health professionals, patients, and students.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
