OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of a laughter yoga activities (LY) program for older people living in residential aged care homes (RACHs).
METHODS
A 6-week LY program was implemented at three RACHs with twenty-eight residents. A pre-post design was used to measure positive and negative affect, happiness, blood pressure and pulse.
RESULTS
Post-session mean scores for positive mood, and happiness were significantly higher than pre-session scores in weeks 1, 3 and 6, and the post-session mean negative mood scores were significantly lower than pre-session scores in weeks 3 and 6. Post-session readings for mean systolic blood pressure were significantly lower than pre-session readings in weeks 1 and 6.
CONCLUSION
This study demonstrates the potential for using LY to improve mood and lower blood pressure of older people living in RACHs.
目的
评估大笑瑜伽活动（LY）项目对居住在养老院（RACHs）的老年人的影响。
方法
在三个养老院对28名居民实施了为期6周的大笑瑜伽项目。采用前后测设计来测量积极和消极情绪、幸福感、血压和脉搏。
结果
在第1、3和6周，课后积极情绪和幸福感的平均得分显著高于课前得分，在第3和6周，课后平均消极情绪得分显著低于课前得分。在第1和6周，课后平均收缩压读数显著低于课前读数。
结论
本研究表明，大笑瑜伽有潜力改善居住在养老院的老年人的情绪并降低其血压。
