ÖZET
 İnovasyon, sağlık sonuçlarını, verimliliği, maliyet etkinliğini veya kullanıcıların deneyimini iyileştirmeye yönelik olan, planlı ve koordineli eylemle uygulanan, yeni bir dizi davranışlar, programlar ve çalışma biçimleridir. İnovasyon için lider hemşirelerin yaratıcılığı teşvik eden düşüncelere değer vermeleri, risk alma davranışını yönetmeleri, toleranslı olmaları ve çalışanların otonomisini desteklemeleri gerekmektedir. Sağlık bakım hizmetlerinin verildiği kurumlarda hemşireler sistemi en iyi bilen ve hastalarla en fazla vakit geçiren sağlık personelidir. Aynı zamanda sağlık personeli arasında sayıca en fazla olan gruptur. Dolayısıyla zengin bilgiye, düşünceye, gelişen teknolojiler ve yeniliklere yol gösterici bilgi için kullanılabilecek çok değerli içgörülere sahiptirler. Bu nedenle inovasyona şekil vermek ve hızlandırmak için hemşireler en uygun konumdadırlar. Bu derleme makalede, hemşirelerin inovasyon sürecine olan katılımlarını sağlamak ve günlük bakım uygulamalarını olumlu yönde etkilemek için farkındalıklarını artıracak temel eylemler özetlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin bakım uygulamalarında kullandıkları anlık çözümler aslında temel inovasyon örnekleridir. Hemşirelere inovasyonla ilgili bir yol haritası belirlemek için inovasyonun özellikleri, öğeleri ve takım iş birliği konularında bilgilendirme yapılması yol haritasının ilk basamağıdır. Daha sonra hemşirelere fikir üretme, patent alma, prototip geliştirme süreçleriyle ilgili eğitimler almalarını sağlama ve geliştirdikleri fikirlerin hayata geçirilmesi sürecinde destek olmak, cesaretlendirmek ve mesleki bilimsel altyapısını güçlendirmek yol haritasının diğer önemli aşamalarıdır.

ABSTRACT
 Innovation is a new set of behaviors, programs and ways of working, implemented through planned and coordinated action, aimed at improving health outcomes, efficiency, cost-effectiveness or users' experience. For innovation, nurse leaders need to value ideas that encourage creativity, manage risk-taking behavior, be tolerant, and support employees' autonomy. In institutions where health care services are provided, nurses are the health personnel who know the system best and spend the most time with patients. It is also the most numerous group among healthcare personnel. Therefore, they have rich knowledge, thoughts, and invaluable insights that can be used to inform emerging technologies and innovations. Therefore, nurses are in the best position to shape and accelerate innovation. In this review article, basic actions that will increase nurses' awareness in order to ensure their participation in the innovation process and positively affect daily care practices are summarized. Instant solutions that nurses use in their care practices are actually examples of fundamental innovation. In order to determine a road map for innovation, informing nurses about the characteristics, elements and team collaboration of innovation is the first step of the road map. Then, supporting and encouraging nurses in the process of generating ideas, obtaining patents, providing them with training on prototype development processes and implementing the ideas they develop, and strengthening their professional scientific infrastructure are other important stages of the road map.
