Objective To investigate the influence of transition shock and adversity quotient on the feedback seeking behavior of newly graduated nurses,and to clarify the model of the relationship among them.Methods The general information questionnaire,adversity response profile,the transition shock of new graduated nurse scale and feedback seeking behavior of newly graduated nurse scale were used to investigate 216 newly graduated nurses from 2 hospitals in Jiangsu Province.Results Transition shock of new graduated nurses had a negative impact on feedback seeking behavior（r=-0.707;P<0.01）,and the transition shock could affect the feedback seeking behavior through the mediating influence of newly graduated nurses’ adversity quotient,with a mediating effect of 56.31%.Conclusion Adversity quotient is a mediating variable between the transition shock and feedback seeking behavior of newly graduated nurses. Nursing managers and educators should help newly graduated nurses realize their self-potential and enhance feedback-seeking behaviors.
