Summary
Nursing students show moderate innovativeness and a positive attitude towards start-ups. Individual innovativeness positively impacts start-up attitude, suggesting potential for healthcare entrepreneurship.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Innovation
- Entrepreneurship
Background:
- Innovation and start-ups are crucial for advancing nursing care quality and sustainability.
- Understanding the link between individual innovativeness and start-up attitude in nursing students is essential for educational development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between individual innovativeness and start-up attitude among nursing students.
- To explore factors influencing start-up attitudes in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A multicenter cross-sectional study involving 346 nursing students in southern Iran.
- Data collected via demographics survey, Individual Innovativeness Scale, and Nursing Start-up Attitude Scale.
- Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression.
Main Results:
- A moderate level of individual innovativeness (mean score 65.73 ± 6.29) and a moderately positive start-up attitude (mean score 39.44 ± 9.32) were observed.
- A significant positive correlation (r=0.57, p<0.001) exists between individual innovativeness and start-up attitude.
- Individual innovativeness positively influenced start-up attitude, while older age and female gender showed a negative impact.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students in Iran exhibit moderate innovativeness and a positive inclination towards entrepreneurial initiatives.
- These findings indicate a promising potential for fostering entrepreneurship within the nursing profession to drive healthcare innovation.
- The study underscores the importance of nurturing individual innovativeness to encourage start-up development in nursing.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:29Nursing Assessment
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
