    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Creativity Studies

    Background:

    • The University of Iowa introduced an integrated curriculum in 1974.
    • A key objective of this curriculum was to foster creativity in students.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a new integrated curriculum on student creativity.
    • To compare the creativity levels of beginning versus graduating nursing students.
    • To assess the relationship between creativity and academic performance metrics.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (Verbal Form A, Activities 5, 6, and 7) as the criterion measure.
    • Employed Student's t-tests to compare creativity between student groups (beginning vs. graduating, old vs. new curriculum).
    • Calculated Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients to examine the relationship between creativity and American College Testing (ACT) scores and admit grade point average (GPA).

    Main Results:

    • Null hypotheses were rejected, indicating significant differences in creativity.
    • Beginning students demonstrated higher creativity than graduating students (p < .05).
    • Students under the old curriculum exhibited greater creativity than those in the new curriculum (p < .05).
    • No significant correlations were found between creativity and ACT scores or admit GPA (all r values nonsignificant).

    Conclusions:

    • The new integrated curriculum at the University of Iowa did not appear to foster creativity as effectively as the older curriculum.
    • Creativity levels may decline during nursing education, suggesting a need for curriculum review.
    • Further research into fostering and measuring creativity in nursing education is warranted.
