Community-dwelling Older Adults Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of the Integrated-based Laughing Qigong Program on Resilience in Community-dwelling Older Adults: An Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method
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.
A high level of resilience can also help to mitigate the negative effects of stress and promote personal adaptation. According to a prior study, the resilience scale can be used to screen and identify maladaptive people before they cause problems, allowing for the development of preventive interventions (Wells, 2012). Some researchers have used cross talk and laughter therapy in patients with depression and reported that the negative symptoms of their mental health were alleviated (Yoshikawa et al., 2019), and laughter therapy for disabled adolescents improved their resilience (Shinde, & Kotekar, 2022). Another researcher discovered through interviews that older adults who laugh can maintain their personal health and age successfully (Lewis, 2021), but there is currently little research on how laughter affects the resilience of older adults. Previous research applied laughter as a mental health-promoting activity, called the Laughter Qigong program, to promote mental health and generate positive effects on both physical and mental well-being (Hsieh et al., 2015). According to Kuru Alc, Zorba Bahceli, and Emirolu (2018), laughter intervention is risk-free, inexpensive, and beneficial for promoting the mental health of older adults. It has been used successfully with these people in long-term care facilities (Hsieh et al, 2015). The IB-LQP was administered twice weekly for four weeks to older adults living in institutions. It was discovered to have a positive impact on stress cortisol levels (Hsieh et al., 2015), as well as the ability to lessen death fear and enhance loneliness (Kuru Alc, Zorba Bahceli, & Emirolu, 2018). The research on laughter-based interventions for community senior citizens is still in its early stages, and more research is needed to fully understand how senior citizens participate in locally tailored activities. ;
