Aim:
To investigate the levels of information literacy, evidence-based nursing competence and innovative behaviour in specialist nurses, determine the impact of information literacy and evidence-based nursing competence on the innovative behaviour of specialist nurses and to analyse the mediating role of evidence-based nursing competence between information literacy and innovative behaviour among specialist nurses.
Design:
A multicenter cross-sectional design.
Methods:
In March 2024, a survey was conducted on 313 specialist nurses in four tertiary Grade A comprehensive hospitals in China. Data collection involved the utilization of general demographic questionnaire, the Information Literacy Questionnaire, the Evidence-Based Nursing Competence Scale and the Nurse Innovation Behaviour Scale. The data were analysed using IBM SPSS26 and Amos28 software.
Results:
Specialist nurses scored above average in information literacy, evidence-based nursing competence and innovative behaviour. Information literacy significantly positively correlated with innovative behaviour. Evidence-based nursing competence also positively affected innovative behaviour and partially mediated the relationship between information literacy and innovative behaviour.
Conclusion:
This research indicated that specialist nurses exhibited above-average levels of evidence-based nursing competence, information literacy and innovative behaviour. Both information literacy and evidence-based nursing competence positively impacted innovative behaviour, with evidence-based nursing competence playing a significant mediating role between information literacy and innovative behaviour.
Impact:
The findings suggest that nursing managers should focus on enhancing information literacy and evidence-based nursing competence in specialist nurses. Improving these abilities will support the implementation of innovative practices and advance the nursing field.
Reporting Method:
The research findings were presented in strict accordance with the STROBE statement.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
Not applicable.
Contribute To The Wider Global Clinical Community:
It provides reference guidance and theoretical basis for global nursing managers to formulate targeted interventions, so as to effectively enhance the innovative behaviour of specialist nurses.
