ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, katılımcıların kullandıkları mizah tarzlarının ve problem çözme becerilerinin sosyodemografik özellikler açısından farklılıkları ile bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu araştırmanın verileri 95 ebe ve hemşire ile Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu, Mizah Tarzları Ölçeği ve Problem Çözme Envanteri (PÇE) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından Temmuz-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında yüz yüze toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Kolmogorov-Smirnov normallik testi, Mann-Whitney U Analizi, Kruskal-Wallis Testi, Spearman's Rho Korelasyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların mizah tarzları sırasıyla Katılımcı Mizah (39,96±8,65), Kendini Geliştirici Mizah (36,62±9,36), Kendini Yıkıcı Mizah (25,46±8,78) ve Saldırgan Mizah (18,38±5,66) alt boyutları şeklinde sıralanmıştır. Problem çözme stilleri açısından, PÇE puan ortalaması 83,14±17,47'dir. PÇE toplam puanı ve Değerlendirici Yaklaşım alt boyutu puan ortalaması ile Katılımcı Mizah (r=-0,270, p=0,008) ve Kendini Geliştirici Mizah (r=-0,281, p=0,006) alt boyutları arasında anlamlı negatif ilişki bulunmuştur. Düşünen Yaklaşım ve Kendine Güvenli Yaklaşım alt boyut puanları ile Kendini Geliştirici Mizah arasında negatif yönde düşük düzeyde ilişki (r=-0,273, p=0,008) saptanmıştır. Aceleci Yaklaşım alt boyutu ile Katılımcı Mizah (r=0,205, p=0,046) arasında pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırmada, katılımcıların daha sık olumlu mizah tarzları kullandığı, olumsuz mizah tarzlarını ise orta düzeyde kullandıkları görülmüştür. Ayrıca, olumlu mizah tarzlarını daha fazla kullanan bireylerin problem çözme becerilerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgular, mizahın problem çözme becerilerini geliştirme açısından önemli bir rol oynayabileceğini göstermektedir. Sağlık profesyonellerinin iletişim ve problem çözme becerilerini güçlendirmeleri için olumlu mizah tarzlarını destekleyici stratejiler geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this research is to examine differences in humor styles and problem-solving skills among participants based on sociodemographic characteristics, as well as to explore the relationship between these two variables. Material and Methods: Data for this cross-sectional descriptive research were collected from 95 midwives and nurses using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Humor Styles Scale, and Problem Solving Inventory (PSI). Data collection was conducted face-toface by researchers between July and December 2019. The KolmogorovSmirnov normality test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's Rho correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The humor styles of participants, in order of frequency, were Affiliative Humor (39.96±8.65), Self-Enhancing Humor (36.62±9.36), Self-Defeating Humor (25.46±8.78), and Aggressive Humor (18.38±5.66). For problemsolving styles, the mean PSI score was 83.14±17.47. A significant negative correlation was found between the total PSI score and the Evaluative Approach sub-dimension with Affiliative Humor (r=-0.270, p=0.008) and SelfEnhancing Humor (r=-0.281, p=0.006). Additionally, a low negative correlation was identified between the Thinking and Self-Confident Approach sub-dimension scores and Self-Enhancing Humor (r=-0.273, p=0.008). A low but significant positive correlation was also found between the Impulsive Approach sub-dimension and Affiliative Humor (r=0.205, p=0.046). Conclusion: The research found that participants frequently used positive humor styles and moderately used negative humor styles. Moreover, individuals who more frequently used positive humor styles demonstrated higher problem-solving skills. These findings suggest that humor may play an important role in enhancing problem-solving skills. It is recommended that strategies be developed to promote positive humor styles among health professionals to strengthen their communication and problem-solving abilities.
