To explore the relationships among motivation, professional identity, and innovative ability of nursing intern students.
Professional identity and innovative ability are important for nursing students' core competitiveness and care quality. During the internship, nursing students integrate theoretical knowledge and practice, and have a rapid growth. Motivation is positively associated with professional identity and innovative ability. However, there are limited studies examining the professional identity, motivation, and innovative ability of nursing intern students.
A descriptive cross-sectional online study.
Students in the nursing schools in southwest and central of China were included in this study and conducted from June to July 2022. A total of 474 nursing intern students were recruited from 16 nursing schools. Research data were collected with "Participants' Demographics Form", "the Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nursing Students", "the Revised Life Goals Questionnaire", and "the Revised Multidimensional Innovative Questionnaire". Independent-sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, correlation coefficients, and structural equation modeling were used in data analysis. This study adhered to the STROBE guidelines.
A significantly positive correlation was determined among the professional identity (67.55 ± 8.42), motivation (53.38 ± 5.54), and innovative ability (47.99 ± 5.46) of nursing students ( > 0.4, < 0.001). Motivation had a mediating effect on professional identity and innovative ability ( = 0.003), accounting for 10.9% (0.075/0.689) of the total effect.
There was a positive correlation among professional identity, motivation, and innovative ability. Developing motivation and professional identity can enhance nursing intern students' ability to innovate.
探讨护理实习生的动机、职业认同与创新能力之间的关系。
职业认同和创新能力对护理专业学生的核心竞争力和护理质量至关重要。在实习期间，护理专业学生将理论知识与实践相结合，并迅速成长。动机与职业认同和创新能力呈正相关。然而，关于护理实习生职业认同、动机和创新能力的研究有限。
一项描述性横断面在线研究。
本研究纳入了中国西南部和中部护理院校的学生，研究于2022年6月至7月进行。从16所护理院校共招募了474名护理实习生。研究数据通过“参与者人口统计学表格”、“护理专业学生职业认同问卷”、“修订后的生活目标问卷”和“修订后的多维创新问卷”收集。数据分析采用独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析、相关系数和结构方程模型。本研究遵循STROBE指南。
护理专业学生的职业认同（67.55±8.42）、动机（53.38±5.54）和创新能力（47.99±5.46）之间存在显著正相关（>0.4，<0.001）。动机在职业认同和创新能力之间起中介作用（=0.003），占总效应的10.9%（0.075/0.689）。
职业认同、动机和创新能力之间存在正相关。培养动机和职业认同可以提高护理实习生的创新能力。
