N2  - The evolving healthcare needs necessitate the development of innovative approaches. While these changes lead to improvements in the quality of nursing care, unforeseen changes also introduce significant risks to patients. This meta-analysis aimed to explore innovations in nursing. The study used databases such as Google Scholar, MEDLINE, TÜRKMEDLINE, ULAKBIM, and CINAHL. A total of ten studies, published between January 2009 and February 2020, were identified using the search terms “nurse,” “nursing,” and “innovation.” After screening, 856 studies were reviewed, of which 10 studies were included in the analysis. Of these, four were descriptive cross-sectional studies, and one was descriptive correlation type. The sample sizes ranged from 165 to 1040 participants. Most studies used various instruments in addition to demographic information forms, such as innovation scales, online learning readiness scales, barriers to innovation, entrepreneurship tendencies, online information search strategies, entrepreneurship scales, and California critical thinking tendency scales. The findings showed that innovation positively affects research strategies, curiosity, entrepreneurship tendencies, and critical thinking. It is suggested that educational methods should be used to foster creativity and entrepreneurship in educational content, promote innovative perspectives, and enhance critical thinking and that future research should focus on assessing nurses’ innovative characteristics and the factors that influence them, using studies with high levels of evidence.
