Introduction Recently, with changing and expanded working settings, nurses repetitively act in unanticipated circumstances in different settings as a serious part of the healthcare sector to deliver holistic care for patients (Chan, 2013). To handle new and exceptional components in these difficult states, nurses must be ready to reply to any challenges in timely, effective, creative and adaptable ways. Creativity isn't new to the nursing career. Its presentation can be followed back to Myra Levine in 1973 and identified it as a daily occurrence which was fundamental to patient-nurse interactions (Murad, 2016). It is a main and a multifaceted issue in nursing profession and the most essential key to development of both human services and nursing. What's more, it is perceived as the formation of novel, appropriate and helpful thoughts. Also, it is the mental work or activity involved in bringing something new. In order for the nurses to be creative; should be equipped for seeing things in new routes or from an alternate point of view, ready to create new potentials or new options, communicate ideas and values (Bruise, 2016). Additionally, creativity is an attitude to accept change and a readiness to play with ideas and opportunities, a flexibility of viewpoint, the practice of liking the good, while searching for approaches to enhance it. To engage in creative behavior, nurses need management support, resources, supportive work environment, and knowledge about creativity and nurses' role. Accordingly, nurses' creativity does not just rely upon individual qualities and their own creativity. The social or work workplace, education, reward system, and management style can impact both the level and the recurrence of creative behavior (Dul et al., 2011). Creativity assessment broadly sorts into a few categories of measurements: creative products, creative cognition, creative traits, and creative behavior and accomplishments (Silvia et al., 2012). In any case, it is generally indicated "the four P's" representing the four dimensions of creativity "person, process, press, and product". Firstly; a person centers on the character of creative individuals. Secondly; process is the mechanisms that inspire creative thinking or action. Thirdly; press alludes to environments that interact with the creative person to best carry out creativity. Last items are products outcomes; the most target way to deal with measure creativity (Pujiriyanto,2016).
