Abstract
Innovation is something radically new that creates added social and economic value for an organization. The ability to support and sustain the innovative process is a significant challenge in today’s high-pressure healthcare environment. The skills that characterize the traditional leadership model, such as planning, controlling, and managing, are no longer adequate to move a healthcare organization along a trajectory that leads to better patient, staff, and system outcomes. A descriptive study was done to assess the innovative abilities among student nurses at applied medical science college, Alnamas. Descriptive approach is used in this study. 120 students were selected by simple random sampling method. Researcher’s convenience and familiarity with settings were added reason. The tool used for the study includes demographic data and innovative abilities assessment tool to assess the innovative abilities. After collecting the data, the data analysis was done according to the objectives of the study using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The study findings reveals that 9 students (7.5%) are exceptionally innovative , 17 students (14.16%) are very innovative, 39 students (32.5%) are having above average level , 43 students (35.83%) are having average level , 8 students (6.6%) are having below average level & 4 p students (3.3%) are non innovative. Regarding the association between innovative abilities and demographic characteristics the study findings revealed that there was significant association between innovative ability level and age (2= 8.807 , df=3, P=0.0319) , year of study (2= 8.807 , df=3, P=0.0319), previous schooling (2= 8.681, df=2, P=0.0130) , parents education (2= 22.72, df=3, P=0.000046 ). But there is no association between innovative ability level and family income(2=7.573, df=3, P=0.0557.),area of residence (2=0.661, df=1, P=0.4160) . The study reveals that there should be improvement among the nursing students innovative abilities of learning to bring out innovative ideas in the field of nursing profession to give effective care to the individual, family and community.
