This study examined the effects of a laughter programme with entrainment music on stress, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among gynaecological cancer patients.
This quasi-experimental study randomly assigned participants to either a laughter group (n = 17) or a control group (n = 19). The 8-week laughter programme included a weekly 60-min group session composed of laughter, deep breathing, stretching, meditation, and entrainment music-related activities (chorusing, body movement, and dancing). Values involving stress, depression, and HRQoL from before and after the programme were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test and rank analysis of covariance.
The laughter group exhibited improvements in relation with stress and depression, as well as improvement in the emotional and functional well-being of HRQoL domains.
A laughter programme with entrainment music may be used as a stress-moderator and a positive emotion-enhancing strategy among gynaecological cancer patients.
本研究旨在探讨伴随音乐节奏的欢笑方案对妇科癌症患者的压力、抑郁和健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的影响。
本类实验研究采用随机分组的方法将参与者分为欢笑组(n=17)和对照组(n=19)。为期 8 周的欢笑方案包括每周一次 60 分钟的小组会议,其中包括欢笑、深呼吸、伸展、冥想和与音乐节奏相关的活动(合唱、身体运动和跳舞)。使用曼-惠特尼 U 检验和等级协方差分析对方案前后涉及压力、抑郁和 HRQoL 的数值进行分析。
欢笑组在压力和抑郁方面表现出改善,并且在 HRQoL 的情绪和功能幸福感方面也有所改善。
伴随音乐节奏的欢笑方案可以作为妇科癌症患者的压力调节和积极情绪增强策略。
