Effectiveness of a nursing innovation workshop at enhancing nurses’ innovation abilities: A quasi‐experimental study

Abstract

In response to the rapid development and progress of science and technology, hospitals have promoted healthcare innovations to develop highly efficient and economical patient-centred care environments (Weng et al., 2016). As a key force in healthcare services, nurses must constantly innovate to keep pace with the health industry and improve the quality of care (Yan et al., 2020). The American Nurses Association (ANA) defined nurses' innovation ability as the ability to actively seek and develop new methods, new technologies and new tools to promote health, prevent diseases, improve the quality of care of patients, and apply innovation to work through teamwork and reasonable support channels (ANA2016). Yan et al., (2018) defined nurses' innovation ability as the ability to actively seek and develop new methods, new technologies and new tools to promote health, prevent diseases, improve the quality of care of patients, and apply innovation to work through teamwork and reasonable support channels. This study adopts this definition, which includes four elements: innovation subject, innovation process, innovation environment and pressure and innovative products (Yan et al., 2018). | BACKG ROU N DIn most health systems across the world, nurses provide up to 80% of primary health care (Shahsavari Isfahani et al., 2015). Nurses are critical thinkers on the front lines of care delivery who often innovate by identifying more efficient processes or repurposing items for

Innovate a Standard for the Future Model of Nursing Care at Medical-Surgical Units in Najran University

“…These results were supported by [17,18] which detected that after the training, nurses' self-rated innovation capacity (p 0.001, 95% confidence interval 12.79 to 15.05) and research ability (p 0.001, 95% confidence interval 14.39 to 19.09) both improved significantly. Also, [19,20] revealed that empowering education can help nurses perform their jobs more effectively and master their professional abilities.…”

“…Nursing application innovation is critical for primary, secondary, and tertiary care, identifying and avoiding hazard factors, promoting good lifestyle attitudes, and assessing care and other techniques. This is because the institutions that employ them can generate and discover new information, methods, and services [ 7 ].…”

Research competence of community nurses in Shanghai: A cross‐sectional study

“…Managers should conduct multi‐level scientific research training according to the research abilities of the nurses and personal willingness, focusing on nurturing scientific research leaders, so that they become the main facilitators of nursing research (Chen et al, 2022). In terms of improving the effectiveness of scientific research training, managers should learn from the training methods such as the mode of workshops, which combine both theory and practice (Gao et al, 2022), aiming at practical clinical problems, focusing on the training object and using e‐learning interventions to help them learn in a flexible and convenient fashion around busy schedules (Black et al, 2019; Jones et al, 2020; Kazana & Dolansky, 2021; Rouleau et al, 2019). In addition, evaluation of training impact should also be emphasized, to verify the quality of training in practice and to avoid separation between knowledge and practice after training (Gao et al, 2022).…”

In addition, evaluation of training impact should also be emphasized, to verify the quality of training in practice and to avoid separation between knowledge and practice after training (Gao et al, 2022). This can be realized by reporting literature reviews, mutually evaluating research reports and tracking of academic achievements in groups.…”

Mediator effects of psychological empowerment between ethical climate and innovative culture on performance and innovation in nurses

“…Consequently, it is essential to ensure that nursing management keeps pace with technological innovation that supports patient care optimization, enables decision support and relieves the existing burden on nurses due to increasing technological complexity (Jackson et al, 2014; Sensmeier, 2019). However, even if hospital nurses are appropriately educated and prepared for their roles, they face many challenges in new methods and technologies (Gao et al, 2022). A health organization's ethical atmosphere or culture can help face these challenges and develop new behaviours to perform better (Friend et al, 2020; Gan et al, 2020; Lv et al, 2021).…”
