Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of innovative behavior among male nurses in the Anhui Province, conduct potential profile analysis and explore its influencing factors, providing reference for formulating intervention stratigies to enhance innovative behavior among male nurses.Methods:From January to February 2022, a stratified convenience sampling method was used to select clinical male nurses as the participants from five tertiary and first-class comprehensive hospitals in Anhui Province. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general demoraphic questionnaire, Nurse Innovation Behavior Scale, Authentic Leadership Scale, and Psychological Capital Questionnaire. Potential profile analysis was conducted on the innovative behavior characteristics of male nurses, and single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to test the differences in male nurses' innovative behavior characteristics.Results:Among the 220 male nurses, 107 (48.64%) were under the age of 30, accounting for the largest proportion. The innovative behavior score of participants was (38.83 ± 7.80) points, which could be divided into three categories: low-level silent type (27.3%, 60/220), medium-level conservative type (44.5%, 98/220), and high-level active type (28.2%, 62/220). Compared to the low-level silent type, male nurses with higher levels of perceived authentic leadership were more likely to belong to the medium-level conservative type ( OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.019 - 1.093, P<0.05) and the high-level active type ( OR = 1.124, 95% CI 1.066 - 1.184, P<0.01). The higher the level of psychological capital, the greater the probability that male nurses belong to the medium-level conservative type ( OR = 1.088, 95% CI 1.050 - 1.128, P<0.01) and the high-level active type ( OR = 1.273, 95% CI 1.196 - 1.355, P<0.01). Conclusions:The innovative behavior of male nurses in Anhui Province was at a medium level and had obvious classification characteristics. Nursing managers should focus on low-level silent type and medium-level conservative type male nurses, and adopt targeted interventions and support based on different category characteristics to improve their innovation behavior capacities in clinical settings.
