In addition , he had conducted clinical as well as basic research on this theory , which had received great progress. This article was aimed to conclude and explore the theory postulated by Prof. Liu in order to improve the clinical effects of TCM treatment in gastric cancer .

Objective:To understand the current level of work engagement of new nurses and analyze the relationship between the variables of emotion regulation difficulties, job crafting, and work engagement, to provide a theoretical basis for nursing managers to develop interventions to enhance the level of work engagement of new nurses.Methods:The convenience sampling method was applied to select a total of 637 new nurses from 11 tertiary levels A hospitals in Beijing City, Zhejiang Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Anhui Province, and Hubei Province from April to June 2022 as the respondents, and the general information questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale, Job Crafting Scale and Work Engagement Scale were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. The mediation effect was analyzed by AMOS 26.0 structural equation model.Results:Finally, 626 new nurses were included, and scored (31.08 ± 10.94) points on the Work Engagement Scale, with a mean entry score of (3.45 ± 1.22) points. Work engagement was significantly negatively associated with difficulties in emotion regulation ( r=-0.291, P<0.01) and positively associated with job crafting ( r=0.724, P<0.01). Analysis of mediating effects revealed that job crafting partially mediated the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and work engagement ( β=-0.424, P<0.001). Conclusions:New nurses' work engagement was at an intermediate level, and job crafting partially mediated the relationship between emotion regulation difficulties and work engagement. Nursing managers should strengthen training on emotion regulation strategies for new nurses and construct intervention strategies based on job crafting, to improve new nurses′ work engagement.
