The Level and Associated Factors of Creative Deviance of Clinical Nurses.
Observational study in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo examine the current level of creative deviance among clinical nurses and identify associated factors.
designThis study used a cross-sectional design.
methodsA convenience sample of 712 clinical nurses was recruited. Data were collected using the Creative Deviance Scale, Workplace Spirituality Scale and Team Psychological Safety Climate Scale.
resultsOverall, 650 valid questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 91.3%. The mean creative deviance score among nurses was 17.78 (standard deviation = 2.86). Illness was negatively associated with creative deviance, whereas workplace spirituality and team psychological safety climate were positively associated with creative deviance.
conclusionCreative deviance among clinical nurses was moderate. The findings suggest that health status, workplace spirituality and team psychological safety may be relevant to nurses' creative deviance. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal relationships. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: The findings provide preliminary evidence that may help nursing managers support creative deviance through targeted strategies. Managers may consider health monitoring programs, workplace spirituality initiatives, open dialogue, non-punitive error reporting and formal channels that balance innovation with patient safety. IMPACT: What Problem Did the Study Address? ○ Empirical research on creative deviance among clinical nurses remains limited. What Were the Main Findings? ○ Illness, workplace spirituality and team psychological safety climate were associated with creative deviance. Where and on Whom Will the Research Have an Impact? ○ The findings may inform nursing management and help nurse administrators foster innovation among clinical nurses. REPORTING
methodThis study adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guideline for cross-sectional studies. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution was involved.
