Purpose: This study identified effects of laughter therapy administered to mastectomy patients as an adaptive coping mechanism.
Methods: The study design was a non-synchronized design with a non-equivalent control group. Participants
were 40 patients admitted to S hospital in Busan from July 1 to October 10, 2008. The laughter therapy was provided to the experimental group for 20 minutes, four times per week for 2 weeks in each patient’s room.
Results: The experimental and control groups showed significant differences in Mood (t=-2.314, p=.032), and Stress (t=-2.535 p=.020). Pain and serum cortisol in the experimental and control groups did not show any significant difference.
Conclusion: Based on the findings the laughter therapy has significant effects on mastectomy patients’ mood and stress.
