The purpose of this study was to explore the sorts of innovations along with their applicability, and nurses'perception of the nursing innovation system. Nurses who had produced or published any innovations during1997 and 2006 were enrolled into the study. A total of 114 questionnaires were mailed, of which 72(63.2%)were valid for use. The results showed that 25 innovations(34.7%) of medical equipment or commodities, 23(31.9%)were released by oral presentation, posters or publication, 6(8.3%)were carried into clinical trials, and1(1.4%)got patented. Among them, 58(80.6%)were still kept in use by the initiators. Clinical efficacy wasaccountable in 26(36.1%) to save manpower, and in 29(40.3%) to curb cost. The mean scores for nurses'perception of the nursing innovation system were 3.63. Awarding system was the most favored(3.69), and thechance to participate in policy making was the least favored(3.56). These results may direct us to more optimalpolicy decision making in the future. |
