“…Nevertheless, the male students scored higher on one of the domains, the project’s usefulness, and the activity’s global score. A plausible explanation is that female nursing students may be more used to using technology in health, so they could have been less surprised by the advantages of using technology to perform the activity [ 38 ].…”

Background: This research aimed to develop a questionnaire to analyze perceived aspects of using digital technology among nursing students as a collaborative tool. We further sought to evaluate the psychometric reliability of the instrument. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed using a questionnaire developed from scratch. Psychometric studies and univariate and bivariate analyses were performed. Results: 132 nursing students participated. The exploratory and confirmatory analyses of the questionnaire excluded 4 of the initial 18 items and established four domains, and internal consistency was found. The mean global score of the answers to the questionnaire was 4.67 on a scale of 1–5 points, and all the domains obtained high scores. Men scored higher on the usefulness and the global score, while no differences were found regarding age. Conclusions: Nursing students positively assess the use of digital technology as a collaborative tool, regardless of age. Digital technology as a collaborative tool is perceived as beneficial, improves their involvement, and allows nursing students to obtain a better knowledge of their partners. These findings can help develop group projects and tools based on technology to train future nursing professionals. The questionnaire developed is a valid tool to assess this.

“…For example, studies assessed swift trust as a unified variable yielded no significant association with team creativity [ 29 ]. When viewed as a multifaceted concept, one study reported that cognition-based, not affect-based, swift trust was positively correlated with team creativity [ 30 ], whereas another study reported that neither cognition- nor affect-based swift trust was significantly associated with team creativity [ 31 ]. As evidenced by the current findings, the relationship between swift trust and creativity is not a simple and straightforward as previously thought.…”

Background Considerable theoretical and empirical work indicates that a multitude of factors are associated with team creativity in an organizational context. The complex relationships between the contributors, however, are not well understood in nursing education. This study was to take a process view investigating the pathways from swift trust to creativity via collaborative interactions and to explore whether task conflict would further change the strength of the indirect effect. Methods This study utilized a cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive design. Taiwanese nursing students (final n = 629), who enrolled in capstone courses of small interdisciplinary groups collaborating with industrial design students on designing healthcare products, participated in the study. Data were collected from students during 2018 and 2020. Questionnaires assessed their perceptions about teams' swift trust (including cognition- and affect-based), collaborative interactions (including constructive controversy, helping behavior, and spontaneous communication), task conflict, and creativity. SPSS PROCESS macro was used to test the proposed moderated mediation model. Results Bivariate correlation analysis showed that greater team creativity was associated with increased cognition-based team swift trust and collaborative interactions. Results revealed that collaborative interactions serving as the underlying mechanisms mediating the effect of cognition- and affect-based swift trust on team creativity. Moreover, the indirect effect of collaborative interactions, specifically, spontaneous communication, on linking swift trust to team creativity varied as a function of task conflict. As task conflict decreased, the effect became stronger. Conclusion Findings suggest that nursing student teams’ spontaneous communication serves as the underlying mechanism in linking the relationship between swift trust and team creativity and that lower task conflict plays a crucial role in enhancing the indirect effect. The proposed pathway could provide guidance for nursing educators to promote creativity outcomes by promoting swift trust and collaborative interactions as well as preventing task conflict for interdisciplinary nursing student teams.

“…Therefore, team members who depended on each other a great deal to finish tasks may have naturally dampened any behaviours rooted in conflict and spontaneity, thus reducing the strength of those behaviours’ impact on creativity (Liu, Wang, et al, 2020 ). Therefore, to help highly cooperative teams benefit from constructive controversy and spontaneous communication, nursing educators could try teaching them to value and incorporate those skills in a structured, collaborative way (Liu, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ). Perhaps building constructive spontaneous discourse and conflict into the programme, turning them into something positive and expected, would facilitate the benefits these interaction behaviours can bring to team creativity.…”

“…High task interdependence would therefore not have affected the helping behaviours’ impact on team creativity. Nonetheless, in these capstone courses, the nursing students need the design students’ expertise to create healthcare products, so cooperation is key (Liu et al, 2021 ). Therefore, with cooperation and team creativity as primary goals, nursing educators may benefit their students by teaching and encouraging both task interdependence and helping behaviours.…”

“…Each instrument was assessed for face validity and content validity, and has strong reliability, based on the Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.71 to 0.95 (Yang et al, 2010 ). The Taiwanese versions of each instrument have been validated in several recent studies of nursing students in Taiwan (Liu, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Liu, Wang, et al, 2020 ). In this study, the Cronbach's alphas for the subscales ranged from 0.78 to 0.94.…”
