Current status and influencing factors of job crafting ability in operating room senior nurses: a cross-sectional study

Among OR senior nurses in the surveyed hospitals of Zhongshan, job crafting was at a lower-middle level and significantly influenced by organizational support, professional identity, hospital grade, and employment type. The findings, primarily reflective of a female-dominated sample within this specific context, suggest that nurse managers should develop strategies targeting these factors to enhance job crafting. However, the generalizability of these conclusions to other regions or different gender compositions requires further investigation.
