Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation between feedback seeking behavior and innovation behavior of nurses on standardized training programs, so as to provide reference for measures aiming at improving their innovation behavior. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 412 nurses on standardized training programs from 2 standardized training bases in Chongqing. The nurses were asked to fill out the general data questionnaire, the Feedback Seeking Behavior Scale and the Innovation Behavior Scale. Results The total score of feedback seeking behavior and innovative behavior of nurses on standardized training programs were (62.64±11.59) and (31.47±9.68) points respectively. There were positive correlations between feedback seeking behavior and innovation behavior by the total score and dimension scores (r=0.424-0.461, all P<0.05). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that feedback seeking behavior explained 20.6% of the total variation of innovation behavior. Conclusion Feedback seeking behavior and innovation behavior of nurses on standardized training programs are positively correlated. Nursing managers and educators need to provide a good environment aiding feedback-giving, and provide training on methods and skills for feedback-giving, so as to help nurses on standardized training programs better utilize feedbacks, improve the level of innovation behavior, and promote the development of innovation in nursing.
