Objective To investigate the levels of adversity quotient (AQ) and feedback-seeking behavior among newly graduate nurses, and to analyze the impact of AQ on feedback-seeking behavior. Methods A total of 378 newly registered nurses were investigated with a general information questionnaire, the Adversity Quotient Scale and Feedback-Seeking Behavior Questionnaire. Results The samples scored 134.92±17.22 on AQ and 60.63±11.76 on feedback-seeking behavior. Career duration, AQ score and hospital level for clinical practice before employment were the main influencing factors of feedback-seeking behavior of newly registered nurses （adjust R2=0.516,P＜0.01 for all）. Conclusion AQ and feedback-seeking behavior of newly registered nurses are at me-dium level. Those who had shorter career duration and lower AQ, and those who had practiced in secondary hospital, demonstrated weak feedback-seeking behavior. Hospital managers should strengthen mechanism construction and take targeted management to enhance feedback-seeking behavior of newly registered nurses.
