The aim of this study was to integrate Social Exchange Theory and the Ability—Motivation—Opportunity (AMO) Theory to examine the influence of organisational innovation climate on nurses' innovative behaviour, considering the mediating role of knowledge sharing and the moderating effect of person-organisation fit, thereby providing a multidimensional theoretical foundation for enhancing nurses' innovative behaviour.
A cross-sectional research design was adopted.
Participants included 380 nurses from two Grade-A tertiary hospitals in Henan Province, China. Data were collected using the Organisational Innovation Climate Scale, Knowledge Sharing Scale, Nurses' Innovative Behaviour Scale and Person-Organisation Fit Scale and analysed via descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis and bootstrap testing for mediation and moderation effects.
Organisational innovation climate was positively correlated with nurses' innovative behaviour and knowledge sharing partially mediated this relationship. Person-organisation fit positively moderated both the direct relationship between organisational innovation climate and knowledge sharing and the indirect effect on innovative behaviour.
Under a supportive organisational innovation climate, nurses with high person-organisation fit are more likely to engage in innovative behaviour through knowledge sharing.
Establishing an organisational innovation climate and improving person-organisation fit can enhance nurses' work engagement and loyalty, advancing innovation and development in nursing.
Nursing managers should cultivate an innovation-friendly climate and facilitate knowledge sharing to inspire proactive problem-solving and innovation among nurses, ultimately improving nursing practice and patient care.
STROBE guidelines were followed.
This study clarifies how organisational and individual factors jointly affect nurses' innovative behaviour, providing a theoretical foundation for improving nursing management, service quality and disciplinary innovation.
To investigate empirically the direct effect and potential mechanism of family resilience on patient-reported outcomes among young stroke dyads in China.
Young patients with stroke have been becoming an important public health issue. According to relevant theories and previous studies, we found that family resilience might play an important role in patient's symptoms. However, it is less clear about the specific relationship and potential mechanisms of these two variables.
We used a prospective cross-sectional design.
A multi-item questionnaire was used to assess the constructs of interest. Researchers progressively constructed and validated conditional process models. The PROCESS macro was used to verify the research hypotheses.
A total of 560 questionnaires were collected in this study. We found that family resilience of stroke patients and their spouses had a direct effect on the physical, psychological and social aspects of patient-reported symptoms. We further revealed that caregiver preparedness partially mediated the relationship between family resilience and patient's symptoms in stroke patient-spouse dyads, while perceived social support moderated the relationship between caregiver preparedness and patient's symptoms. Finally, we observed that the impact of caregiver readiness and social support on patients' symptoms predominantly manifested in physical and physiological outcomes.
Our research provides evidence about the positive impact of family resilience on patient-reported symptoms in young stroke dyads. Meanwhile, it further revealed how caregiver preparedness and perceived social support may play out in the relationship.
Our research introduces a novel perspective and pathway to enhance short-term recovery outcomes for patients. It also furnishes clinicians and nurses with evidence to guide the implementation of interventions aimed at improving patient health outcomes and facilitating smoother transitions from the hospital to home.
What problem did the study address?
Families play a crucial role in a patient's recovery process from illness, with family resilience serving as an important force for families to overcome adversity. However, the impact on patient symptoms and the underlying mechanisms of this relationship are uncertain. Empirical research is required to validate these aspects.
What were the main findings?
Family resilience has a positive impact on the physical, psychological and social aspects of patient-reported symptoms in young stroke dyads. Both the actor effect and partner effect are supported. The impact of caregiver readiness and social support on patient-reported symptoms is primarily observed in physical and physiological outcomes.
Where and on whom will the research have an impact?
This study offers a novel approach to enhance the short-term recovery of stroke patients. The researchers believe that the findings of this study will play an even more significant role during patients' transition from the hospital to home.
This study followed the STROBE statement of cross-sectional studies.
The study was conducted by patients, their spouses, healthcare professionals and the research team.
