Abstract: Objective To understand the current situation of job crafting in nurses and analyze its influencing factors,provide the reference for improving the level of job crafting in nurses. Methods From August 2021 to March 2022,the questionnaire survey was conducted among 163 nurses in three grade-A tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou City by the general information survey questionnaire,job crafting scale,basic psychological needs satisfaction scale,and work engagement scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The total average scores of job crafting,work engagement scale and basic psychological needs satisfaction in nurses were （3.38±0.67）,（3.17±0.82） and （4.46±0.92）points,respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of job crafting among nurses with different age,number of children,years of work experience,technical title,physical condition,job income satisfaction and job satisfaction（all P<0.05）. The total scores of job crafting and scores of each dimension were positively correlated with the total scores of work engagement and basic psychological needs satisfaction and scores of each dimension（r=0.426-0.735,all P<0.01）. The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that number of children,dedication,competence and autonomy were the influencing factors of nurses' job crafting（all P<0.05）. Conclusion The nurses' job crafting is at a slightly above average level,and the hospital management departments should create a healthy working environment,improve the nursing colleagues support system and reward system,actively encourage innovative work,meet the basic psychological needs of nurses,improve their work engagement level,and better stimulate the job crafting behavior among nurses.
