The literature supports the use of humour as a therapeutic intervention. The ability to apply and comprehend humour is associated with coping skills and is particularly relevant to people with chronic or terminal illness. Whether or not the application of humour is therapeutic will depend on the nature of the communication and the relationship established between nurse and patient.
