■ Group arts interventions, such as painting, dance, or music, significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in older adults, offering a powerful alternative to traditional treatments.

■ The effect sizes associated with these reductions are comparable to those observed with traditional treatments for depression and anxiety such as taking anti-depressants, talking therapies, or physical activity.

■ The benefits are universal, with consistent results across different art forms, intervention types, and countries.

■ Group arts interventions were particularly beneficial for care home residents relative to older adults who lived in the community.

■ The findings support the inclusion of group arts interventions in social prescribing initiatives and healthcare guidelines, providing an accessible, cost-effective, and enjoyable way to improve mental well-being in later life.

Recent studies have provided compelling evidence regarding the positive effects of laughter therapy on mental and physical health, particularly in reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. Here are the key findings from the latest research:

*✏️ Psychological Benefits*

1. Reduction in Anxiety and Depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis involving 15 studies demonstrated that laughter therapy significantly reduces anxiety and depression in hospitalized patients, both children and adults. The analysis showed a mean difference of -10.55 for anxiety and -2.43 for depression, indicating substantial improvements compared to standard care[3].

2. Elderly Population: Laughter therapy has been particularly beneficial for elderly individuals. A randomized controlled trial revealed that an 8-week laughter therapy program led to reduced anxiety and insomnia among participants aged 60 and above, improving their overall health[1][2].

3. Long-term Effects: A meta-analysis of 814 participants found that long-term laughter interventions were associated with more pronounced reductions in depression levels and improvements in sleep quality[1].

*✏️ Physiological Effects*

1. Hormonal Changes: Laughter therapy has been linked to significant changes in hormone levels. For instance, a study reported elevated serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) after laughter therapy, which dropped upon discontinuation of the intervention, suggesting its potential role in stress reduction and mental health support[1].

2. Cortisol Reduction: Laughter has been shown to lower cortisol levels, a key stress hormone. One study indicated a 43.9% reduction in salivary cortisol levels following laughter interventions, highlighting its effectiveness as a stress-relief strategy[4][5].

3. Cardiovascular Benefits: Regular participation in laughter therapy has resulted in significant reductions in systolic blood pressure and heart rate, attributed to parasympathetic activation that promotes relaxation[2].

*✏️ Specific Populations*

1. Cancer Patients: Research has indicated that laughter therapy can improve emotional responses in cancer patients by alleviating anxiety, stress, pain perception, and depressive symptoms. The therapy enhances parasympathetic activity and raises endorphin levels, contributing to better pain management and emotional well-being[6][7].

2. Schizophrenia Patients: There is emerging evidence that laughter therapy may serve as a complementary treatment for individuals with schizophrenia by potentially reducing stress responses through non-pharmacological means[1].

In conclusion, the latest evidence supports laughter therapy as an effective intervention for enhancing mental health by reducing anxiety and depression while also providing various physiological benefits. Further research is encouraged to solidify these findings and explore the mechanisms behind these positive effects.

✅ عضو کمیسیون بهداشت در گفت‌وگو با شفقنا:

?8 میلیون دیابتی در کشور داریم

? سن ابتلا به «#دیابت» در حال کاهش است

? «سازمان ملی کنترل دیابت» تشکیل شود؛

آقای حسین عبدلی در گفت و گو با خبرنگار شفقنا در رابطه با وضعیت گسترش بیماری دیابت در کشور، بیان کرد: به نظر ما سیاست وزارتخانه باید بر مبنای پیشگیری باشد؛ چراکه ما هزینه‌های زیادی را در بخش درمان بر بیمه‌ها و مردم تحمیل می‌کنیم در حالی که می‌توان جلوی گسترش بسیاری از بیماری‌ها را گرفت که بخش عمده آن در بیماری‌های غیر واگیردار است که قابل کنترل می باشد اما ما اقدام کافی برای کنترل آنها انجام ندادیم.

We find that social prescribing may reduce secondary care costs.
