The Relationship Between the Humor Styles of Nurses and Psychological Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic Period

This study aligns with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist.RESULTS: It is determined that the mean age of the nurses is 28.35 ± 6.19 years, and the age range is between 20 and 47 years. It is determined that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between "self-improving humor" and "participatory humor," which are among the harmonious/positive humor styles of the nurses, and the total Psychological Well-Being Scale score (P < .05). It is determined that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between "aggressive humor," which is one of the inharmonious/negative humor styles, and the total Psychological Well-Being Scale score (P < .05).DISCUSSION: The results support that nurses' use of self-enhancing and participatory humor contributes to psychological well-being.PMID:38271314 | DOI:10.1097/DCC.0000000000000626
