title: The healing power of humour at work.
abstract: The increasing pressures of working in health care are inclining many nurses to seek out stress-relieving activities. The author describes how an approach to work which encapsulates an understanding of the benefits of fun and humour, and the endorsement of this approach from management, can enable nurses and other professionals to practise a very effective form of stress relief.
