BEHAVIORAL

The principle of laughter plus Qigong

The intervention program include muscle stretching, breathing exercises, and closing exercises. The laughing practice method begins with a warm-up consisting of laughing to stretch the body, yawning, and exerting the voice, and ends with expelling all the "qi" in order to return to natural movements and return to taking care of your body and mind (He et al., 2021). The LQP program meets once a week for 90 minutes and runs for 12 weeks. The program content: the laughter skills were 50-60 minutes, the feedback was 30 minutes, and relaxation was 10 minutes.
