ÖZET
Amaç: Hemşirelerin iş doyumu ve mizah tarzlarını etkileyen faktörlerin ve mizah tarzları ile iş doyumları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma, bir vakıf üniversitesi hastanesi ve üniversiteye bağlı farklı illerdeki araştırma ve uygulama merkezlerinde çalışan 681 hemşire ile yürütüldü. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak; kişisel bilgi formu, Hemşire İş Doyum Ölçeği ve Mizah Tarzları Ölçeği kullanıldı. Veriler, SPSS 20,0 istatistik paket programı ile yüzde, frekans dağılım, t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve korelasyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin iş doyum ölçeği puan ortalaması 3,58±0,73 olarak saptanmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet, meslekte ve kurumda çalışma süresi, iş pozisyonu, vardiya şekli, bilimsel faaliyetlere katılma ve mesleki yayınları takip etme gibi faktörlerin hemşirelerin iş doyumunu etkilediği; 30 yaş ve altı olan erkek hemşirelerin, çalışma süresi 1-9 yıl olanların, serviste çalışanların, nöbetli ve hafta sonu çalışan hemşirelerin iş doyumlarının düşük, bilimsel faaliyetlere katıldığını ve mesleki yayınları takip ettiğini bildiren hemşirelerin iş doyumlarının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin mizah tarzları incelendiğinde; olumlu mizah tarzı puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin olumlu mizah tarzı kullanımı ile iş doyumları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışmada, hemşirelerin iş doyum düzeylerinin ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu, olumlu mizah tarzı ortalamalarının yüksek olduğu; olumlu mizah tarzı kullanan hemşirelerin iş doyumlarında artış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin iş doyumlarını ve mizah tarzlarını etkileyen faktörlerin dikkate alınarak; mesleki gelişim ve bilimsel faaliyetlere katılım fırsatlarının sağlanması, çalışma koşullarına yönelik düzenlemelerin yapılması ve hemşirelerde mizah duygusunun gelişimine katkı sağlayacak destekleyici eğitimlerin planlanması önerilebilmektedir.
