Abstract | Notes the lack of evidence-based guidance for use of humour by nurses. Uses a qualitative descriptive methodology to explore how surgical nurses determine when and how to employ humour with patients. Enrols 9 RNs working in a surgical ward within a tertiary hospital in semi-strutured interviews to discuss how they assess patient receptiveness, build connections with patients and protect their vulnerability. | ||||
