This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a simulated laughter programme on mood, cortisol levels, and health-related quality of life among haemodialysis patients.
Forty participants were randomly assigned to a laughter group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20). Eleven participants completed the laughter programme after haemodialysis sessions and 18 control participants remained. The 4-week simulated laughter programme included weekly 60 min group sessions of simulated laughter, breathing, stretching exercises, and meditation, as well as daily 15 s individual laughter sessions administered via telephone. Mood, cortisol levels, and health-related quality of life were analysed using the rank analysis of covariance, and Wilcoxon's signed rank test.
The laughter group exhibited improvements in mood, symptoms, social interaction quality, and role limitations due to physical health.
The simulated laughter programme may help improve mood and health-related quality of life among haemodialysis patients.
本研究旨在评估模拟笑声计划对血液透析患者情绪、皮质醇水平及健康相关生活质量的影响。
40名参与者被随机分为笑声组（n = 20）和对照组（n = 20）。11名参与者在血液透析疗程后完成了笑声计划，18名对照参与者保留。为期4周的模拟笑声计划包括每周60分钟的模拟笑声、呼吸、伸展运动和冥想小组课程，以及通过电话进行的每日15秒个人笑声课程。使用协方差秩分析和威尔科克森符号秩检验分析情绪、皮质醇水平和健康相关生活质量。
笑声组在情绪、症状、社交互动质量以及因身体健康导致的角色限制方面均有改善。
模拟笑声计划可能有助于改善血液透析患者的情绪和健康相关生活质量。
