title: [Experiences of humor in pediatric nursing care].
abstract: The results of qualitative research conducted in order to document the experience of nurses using humour with hospitalised children give us an insight into the social importance of humour. It helps to establish a relationship of trust between nurse and child, and also creates lasting bonds that persist well beyond the present.
