Abstract：Objective To analyze the correlation between innovation ability,achievement motivation and mental health of clinical nur-ses with full-time master degree from tertiary hospitals in China.Methods A total of 104 clinical nurses with full-time master degree from tertiary hospitals in China were selected as research objectives by convenience sampling method in July 2021.They were investigated by gener-al information questionnaire,Innovation Ability Evaluation Scale of Clinical Nursing Staff,Achievement Motivation Scale and General Health Questionnaire-12.Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the correlation between innovation ability,achievement motivation and mental health,meanwhile multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors affecting innovation ability.Results The total score of innovation ability was(152.72±17.38),which was higher than the normal model(139.83±20.26),and was at a good level.The achievement motivation score was 41.00(36.25,45.00),the score of avoiding failure motivation was 38.00(33.00,42.00),and the mental health score was 7.00(3.00,12.00).The innovation ability was positively correlated with the achievement motivation(r=0.350,P＜0.01),and had a negative correlation with mental health(r=-0.311,P＜0.01).Multivariate regression analysis verified that professional title,innovation related training,achieve-ment motivation and mental health of clinical nurses with full-time master degree were the predictors of their innovation ability(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Conclusion The stronger their achievement motivation,the higher the mental health level of clinical nurses with full-time master degree,which meant they had more prominent innovative ability.Nursing managers should stimulate the achievement motivation of highly edu-cated nurses,pay attention to their mental health status,and strengthen the training on nursing innovation,so as to improve their innovative a-bility and promote the sustainable development of nursing industry.
