Brief Summary:
Laughter programs are safe affordable and age-appropriate activities Few studies have utilized mixed study designs to look at the impact on resilience in and experiences of participants in such activities
Detailed Description:
The laughing qigong program is a physical and mental practice program that combines qigong and laughter It is influenced by Chinese local culture It emphasizes the transformation of voice body and emotional use so that people can experience relaxation and tranquility and then the transformation of emotions so that physical and mental energy can be released then to achieve balance Our research has shown that laughter-related psychological interventions have consistent effects on mental health reducing mood conditions under life stress Grace 2013 depressed mood Hsieh et al 2015 and cortisol concentration Grace 2013 However there have only been a few studies where similar protocols focused on positive mental states eg resilience well-being and the application of laughing in immune function
Therefore the current quasi-experimental trial was to investigate the effects of the LQP on psychological outcomes resilience and well-being mucosal immunity salivary immunoglobulin A s-IgA and immune-inflammatory index interleukins IL-6 amongst breast cancer survivors We hypothesized that a experimental group participants would have significantly higher levels of resilience and well-being at baseline before the test and post-treatment post-test compared to the wait list control group b Compared to the control group on the wait list experimental group participants will have significant differences in mucosal immunity s-IgA and inflammatory index IL-6 before and after the test and c experimental group membership had a significant effect on psychological outcomes resilience and well-being as well as mucosal immunity s-IgA and immune-inflammatory indices IL-6 after a 12-week LQP intervention
