Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Occupational Therapy
    • Psychology of Communication

    Background:

    • Humour's positive impact on rehabilitation and collaborative practice is documented.
    • Its specific role in occupational therapy for stroke survivors remains underexplored.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate Canadian occupational therapists' views on the advantages and disadvantages of using humour with stroke patients.
    • To gather expert consensus on humour's application in stroke rehabilitation within occupational therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A Delphi study methodology was employed, involving three survey rounds.
    • Occupational therapists participated in identifying and prioritizing the risks and benefits of humour in therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Consensus was achieved on 32 benefits of humour, including improved rapport, communication, emotional well-being, and client motivation.
    • Key benefits emphasize humour's role in building relational capital for better rehabilitation outcomes.
    • Two risks were identified: client-therapist differences in humour comprehension and preference.

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides evidence-based guidance for occupational therapy practice and education regarding humour use.
    • Humour is highlighted as a valuable relational practice that supports collaborative, relationship-focused rehabilitation for individuals post-stroke.
