Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of a modified hybrid brainstorming (MHB) program against conventional brainstorming (CB) to achieve idea generation during innovation initiatives in nursing. Pretest and posttest outcomes comparing the two brainstorming methods were tested during a training exercise (N = 56). The MHB group (n = 29) was trained to apply CB for problem identification and MHB for idea generation. The CB group (n = 27) was trained to apply only CB. The MHB method significantly enhanced idea fluency, flexibility, and originality from pretest to posttest (p < .05) and increased idea fluency and originality to a greater extent than the CB method. The MHB learning program can enhance nurses' innovative idea generation by promoting idea fluency and originality. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(2):72-78.].
