Creativity in nursing education is crucial for developing practical problem-solving skills, and humor is a valuable tool for stress management and fostering a positive learning environment. This study explored the relationship between creativity and humor among nursing students.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 265 convenient undergraduate nursing students aged 20 to 25. The Short Scale of Creative Self (SSCS) and the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale (MSHS) were used to measure creativity and various aspects of humor.
Showed a significant positive correlation between humor and creativity (r = 0.238, p < 0.001). Positive correlations were found between Humor Production, Coping or Adaptive Humor, and Appreciation of Humor with creativity (r = 0.254, 0.230, and 0.461, p < 0.001, respectively). In contrast, Attitudes Toward Humor and Humorous People were negatively correlated with creativity (r=-0.343, p < 0.05). Humor accounted for 16.2% of the variance in creativity.
The study concluded a strong link between humor and creativity, with positive correlations observed between creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity with different aspects of humor. The study recommends the incorporation of humor into nursing education and healthcare settings to encourage creative problem-solving and reduce burnout among students and staff.
护理教育中的创造力对于培养实际问题解决能力至关重要，而幽默是压力管理和营造积极学习环境的宝贵工具。本研究探讨了护理专业学生创造力与幽默之间的关系。
对265名年龄在20至25岁之间的本科护理专业学生进行了横断面调查。采用创造性自我短量表（SSCS）和多维幽默感量表（MSHS）来测量创造力和幽默的各个方面。
显示幽默与创造力之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.238，p < 0.001）。幽默产生、应对或适应性幽默以及对幽默的欣赏与创造力之间存在正相关（r分别为0.254、0.230和0.461，p均< 0.001）。相比之下，对幽默和幽默之人的态度与创造力呈负相关（r = -0.343，p < 0.05）。幽默解释了创造力中16.2%的变异。
该研究得出幽默与创造力之间存在紧密联系，创造性自我效能感和创造性个人认同与幽默的不同方面之间存在正相关。该研究建议将幽默融入护理教育和医疗环境中，以鼓励创造性地解决问题，并减少学生和工作人员的倦怠。
