Grieving With Humor: A Correlational Study on Sense of Humor and Professional Grief in Palliative Care Nurses. Issue 2 (March 2018) - Robalo Nunes, Inês
Abstract : The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between humor and professional grief. Findings confirm that these are not independent phenomena. Using humor as a coping mechanism emerged as a response to death-related work. Likewise, positive attitudes toward humor seem to alleviate the distress associated with end-of-life care.
