Abstract: Objective On the basis of the theory of resource conservation,this study explored the mediating role of ICU nurses‘ recovery experience between leisure crafting and work engagement,so as to enhance the work engagement level of ICU nurses. Methods From January to March 2023,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 227 ICU nurses from three tertiary Class A general hospitals in Shandong Province using convenience sampling method. The survey tools included the general information questionnaire,the Leisure Crafting Scale (LCS),the Recovery Experience Questionnaire(REQ),and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9(UWES-9). Results The total effect of ICU nurses‘ leisure crafting on work engagement was 0.490(P<0.001),the direct effect was 0.174(P=0.007). Recovery experience partially mediated the relationship between leisure craft and work engagement,the indirect effect value was 0.316(95%CI:0.231~0.414),and the mediating effect accounted for 64.49% of the total effect. Conclusion ICU nurses proactively and systematically plan their leisure time to supplement individual resources and improve the recovery experience,which can have a positive effect on work engagement.
