N/AAbstract
For most patients, especially youngsters who frequently feel scared and anxious during procedures involving needles, hospitals can be unpleasant. Medical clowns are talented entertainers with training in improvisation, physical comedy, magic, puppetry, and music. They are often referred to as therapeutic clowns or clown physicians. They employ these skills to make people laugh, encourage mental and physical health, and give sufferers hope. The families of patients and the medical personnel who care for them benefit from their work as well. MCs face a variety of difficulties when caring for ill children, adolescents, and their parents in pediatric settings. The impact of nurse led instruction on medical clowning among nursing students was assessed using a quantitative research methodology and quasi experimental one group pre-test post-test design. The study was carried out in few Navi Mumbai nursing college. Nursing students understanding of medical clowning improved as a result of the nurse led intervention.
