Abstract:Objective: To establish a model of innovation group activities and examine its effect on improving innovation behavior of novice nurses. Methods: A total of one hundred novice nurses in Wenzhou People’s Hospital were recruited. They had eight class hours of intensive training on innovation-related topics and then were divided into ten innovation groups to attend eleven meetings with innovation brain storm. Innovation atmosphere of the hospital and innovation behavior of the nurses were compared before and one year after the implementation of the model and various indicator changes were analyzed. Results: One year after the model, the total score of innovative atmosphere in the organization increased from (71.86±5.93) to (88.50±7.64). The total score of innovative behavior of the nurses was (35.03±4.36), significantly higher than that before the training (26.34± 2.38). The score of support dimension and realization idea were increased from (8.85±1.17) and (7.52±1.24) to (11.38±1.52) and (10.02±1.61) respectively, with significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion: The innovative group activity model is beneficial to improve the innovative atmosphere of new nurses and improve their innovative behaviors.
