Abstract

Surgery prompts emotional reactions in individuals. Sometimes this emotional reaction will manifest and some other times it will be hidden. This anxiety affects body functions and thus we need to control it.

Through this Health Education Programme we see the multiple advantages that a very ancient therapy such as “laugh therapy “ has on a child’s pre, intra and postoperative periods. This therapy is also very useful for the family members of the individual undergoing surgery as well as on other people suffering from other conditions or diseases and in other age ranges besides childhood.
