中文摘要

本論文為探索性研究，主要研究目的為：1.探討成年女性於融入歡笑活動的四週身心靈增能團體中之經驗；2.探討此種團體對成年女性分別在身、心、靈與人際等四層次的影響；3.探討歡笑活動的實質內涵、應用價值與優缺點。
本研究招募八名具有輕中度身心症狀的成年女性為研究參與者，實施為期四週的歡笑活動方案小團體。研究方法採取質性與量性並行的混合設計，透過多重資料來源的收集，再以三角交叉法進行資料的檢核與分析，以達到對研究現象較正確的理解與詮釋。
研究結果發現八名女性參與者於四週團體期間最常經驗到的身體反應為打哈欠、身體發熱、流汗，但在自律神經功能的部份，則缺乏較穩定且一致的變化；正向心理反應最多為快樂感、如釋重負、幸福感，但亦有成員出現過想哭的感受，而多數參與者同時也表示曾有過害羞、不好意思、尷尬的心理狀態；靈性體驗的部分則幾乎每位參與成員都認為沒有得到比較深刻的啟發；人際的層次則幾乎每位參與成員都認為有在分享與互動的過程中得到學習與成長，並希望彼此的關係能延續。
研究結論為：融入歡笑活動的四週身心靈增能團體應能短期促進成年女性在身體、心理與人際關係上的正向變化與經驗，但靈性層次的體會則不明顯。歡笑活動具有潛在的應用價值且能從身心靈與人際的層次進行整合，故應能作為健康促進的模式參考，唯實施上應考量空間與時間因素的限制，並注重參與者的個別差異及華人文化觀點的影響。

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and effects of laughing program in a 4-week Body-Mind-Spirit Empowerment Group (BMSEG) with female adults. This research also examined the essential content, applied value, merits, and shortcomings of the laughing activity.

Eight adult females, who had slight to medium degree of autonomic nervous symptoms carried out an once a week and totally four weeks’ BMSEG with laughing qigong activity. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods to verify and analyze data of both sets through way of triangulation.

The results were as follows: Physically, the participants often yawned, felt hot, and sweated, but lacked stable and consistent changes on autonomic nervous system. Mentally, the participants often felt happy, unfettered, and felicitous. They also felt inhibited, shy, and embarrassed; they even intended to escape from the laughing group. In terms of spirit, almost every participant did not feel deeply inspired or experience obviously changes, but they endorsed the positive belief from the laughing activity. About the interpersonal relationships, almost every participant said they learned and obtained new insight in the process of group sharing and interaction; moreover, they hoped their friendship can last.

Conclusion: Applying laughing program in an once a week and a total 4-week BMSEG may contribute to short-term positive experiences as well as changes on body, mind, spirit and interpersonal relationships to those female adults. Laughing activity has its potential effects both in health promotion (physical and mental) and sustainable health development. However, the restriction on space and time should be considered when designed a BMSEG with laughing activity in the future. Furthermore, the individual difference and Chinese cultural influence should also pay more attention.
