Sammanfattning
It is only during the last few decades that the relationship between humour and health has begun to be discussed in a more comprehensive manner. The study is descriptive and is based on informative statements made by a group of nurses whose ethnic origin were non-Nordic. The study include both men and women (N=20) who had complimented their nursing training with a graduate course when arriving Sweden. The nurses were asked to give a narrative to the question «What does humour mean to you?» Cognitive theory has been applied to the result. The study emphasises that humour should be used with care and sensitivity. Respect for others is a central aspect in the study and the need to practice empathy is underlined.
