Background: An attractive and supportive practice environment is essential for inspiring innovation in nursing. Innovative behaviors (IBs) could assist nurses in creating solutions in several domains, such as identifying and solving workplace problems, building new work methods, delivering their services efficiently and effectively, adopting new medical technology advancements, and leading the change process to face current challenges in health care. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the nursing practice environment and IB in the Al-Madinah region, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional correlation research design was employed. A convenience sample consisted of 330 bedside nurses working in five general hospitals in Al-Madinah region who voluntarily completed a self-report questionnaire consisting of demographic and professional characteristics, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), and the Innovative Behavior Inventory (IBI). Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Analysis was accomplished using SPSS version 21. Results: The nursing practice environment (NPE) was favorable. Overall, the PES-NWI mean score was 2.62 ± 0.50, and four of the five subscales’ mean scores were >2.50. The collegial nurse–physician relations subscale was perceived as the most favorable (2.87 ± 0.59), while staffing and resource adequacy was perceived as unfavorable (2.35 ± 0.65). The overall mean IBI score was 3.53± 0.56, indicating that nurses had a moderate level of agreement on IB. The highest mean score of IB was related to the idea search domain (3.72 ± 0.77), while the lowest was in the implementation of starting activities domain (3.11 ± 0.86). There were statistically significant differences between the overall NPE mean scores in relation to nursing experience, work setting, and working unit. There was a statistically significant difference between the overall IB mean scores in relation to work setting (p<0.05). Conclusion: The correlation between the NPE and IB was positive and statistically significant. However, the correlation between the staffing and resources adequacy subscale in relation to idea search, overcoming obstacles, and innovation output did not reach statistical significance. Recommendations: Health care organizations should incorporate the principles of work innovation and a healthy nursing work environment into their core values and enhance them through strategic management. |
