Recently, human contact has been restricted partly due to the effect of the epidemic, and the opportunities for laughter have decreased. The decrease in the opportunities for laughter promotes the accumulation of stress, possibly with adverse effects on health. Therefore, we evaluated the stress-relieving effect of Smile Master, a game application incorporating elements of laughter. As a result, the stress score decreased in all 6 participants, and the mean stress scores in all participants before and after the use of the application were 60.5 and 29.8 kIU/L, respectively. The results indicate a stress-relieving effect of laughter and the usefulness of the application Smile Master as an option for experiencing laughter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
