Nevertheless, the use of humour was less important than the treatment of their cancer (\u2018humour discounted\u2019) and there was a fear that they would be subject to ridicule because of their condition (\u2018fear of ridicule\u2019).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings suggest a combination of functionalist, relief and incongruity theories of humour; the emotions these men experience are contained (functionalist) and released (relief) through humorous interaction, and the potential for comedy lies in an incongruity between what is expected socially and the experiences of these men, for example, around expectations that men use urinals in public toilets. Nurses should continue to use humour to build rapport with patients, should they judge this to be appropriate, although they may want to avoid jokes about sexual and urinary functioning until after treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.12363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,25]],"date-time":"2014-02-25T02:20:58Z","timestamp":1393294858000},"page":"2051-2060","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Masculinities, humour and care for penile cancer: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Peter","family":"Branney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social, Psychological &amp; Communication Sciences Leeds Metropolitan University UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karl","family":"Witty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health &amp; Wellbeing Leeds Metropolitan University UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debbie","family":"Braybrook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health &amp; Wellbeing Leeds Metropolitan University UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Bullen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Human Sciences Aberystwyth University UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health &amp; Wellbeing Leeds Metropolitan University UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ian","family":"Eardley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pyrah Department of Urology Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104990910502200410"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/10617-000"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic","author":"Bergson H.","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781446211779"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2011.02.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","unstructured":"BranneyP.
