Abstract: Objective To explore the mediating role of leisure crafting in nurses' psychological capital and innovative behavior. Methods Totally 504 nurses from three grade-A tertiary general hospitals in Hunan Province from February to June 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method as the research object. They were investigated by the general data questionnaire,leisure crafting scale,nurses' innovative behavior scale and nurses' psychological capital questionnaire. AMOS 26.0 was used to analyze the mediating effect of leisure crafting on nurses' psychological capital and innovative behavior. Results The score of leisure crafting among 504 nurses was (3.28±0.86)points,the score of innovation behavior was (3.54±0.68)points,and the score of psychological capital was (4.34±0.78)points. The total score of leisure crafting was positively correlated with the total score of psychological capital of nurses and the total score of innovative behavior of nurses(r=0.696,0.365,bpth P<0.01). The total score of psychological capital of nurses was positively correlated with the total score of innovative behavior(r=0.468,P<0.01). The leisure crafting played a partially mediating role between nurses' psychological capital and innovative behavior,with the mediating effect accounting for 47.2% of the total effect. Conclusions The situation of leisure crafting,psychological capital and innovative behavior among 504 nurses is better,which are all at the above medium level.
