Injecting humor must be done with sensitivity to vari- ous differences in a culturally diverse setting. Therefore, clinical nursing faculty must decide when it is appropriate to use humor on the basis of individual students and cir- cumstances. For example, times may exist in a student’s life that may result in a particular personal experience when the acceptance of humor is not appreciated (Kuhrik, Kuhrik, & Berry, 1997). In situations when humor is ap- propriate to use as a strategy to decrease anxiety, clinical nursing faculty can use jokes, anecdotes, or humorous sto- ries related to the clinical content being discussed. These examples of humor can be used in clinical preconferenc- es, in postconferences, or in a private area in the clinical learning environment during a clinical discussion between the student and the clinical instructor. Role-playing in the clinical learning environment can also be used to induce humor. For example, during a clinical preconference, stu- dents can role-play the proper procedure for medication administration. Role-playing clinical skills can generate laughter and put students at ease prior to the start of their clinical experience.
