Human creativity uses what is already available, changing it in unpredictable ways. Creativity is an option to client, caregiver, and institution. It is likely to occur in the open mode of thinking, where alertness, relaxation, and playfulness coexist. Humor is a desirable avenue to creative thinking for health promotion. The release and relaxation of humor benefits client and caregiver both physiologically and psychologically. Tension eases for patients, while nurses gain a new sense of control through the use of their own sense of humor. Fifty preoperative patients were surveyed on the use of humor education as a form of stress reduction. After surgery, the patients were told one-liners prior to administration of potentially painful topical medication. All perceived less pain. Humor rooms are spaces in hospitals which encourage the therapeutic use of humor. This is a unique holistic option to promote creative thinking of the staff while it enhances the healing of the patient.
人类创造力利用已有的东西，以不可预测的方式对其进行改变。创造力对于客户、护理人员和机构来说是一种选择。它很可能出现在开放的思维模式中，在这种模式下，警觉、放松和趣味性并存。幽默是促进健康的创造性思维的理想途径。幽默的释放和放松在生理和心理上都使客户和护理人员受益。患者的紧张情绪得到缓解，而护士通过运用自己的幽默感获得一种新的掌控感。对50名术前患者进行了关于使用幽默教育作为减轻压力形式的调查。手术后，在给患者使用可能引起疼痛的局部药物之前，给他们讲一些俏皮话。所有患者都感觉疼痛减轻。幽默室是医院里鼓励以治疗为目的使用幽默的空间。这是一种独特的整体选择，既能促进工作人员的创造性思维，又能促进患者的康复。
