Objective:To explore the direct effect of safety organization on work engagement of Operating Room nurses, as well as the mediating effect of psychological capital between safety organization and work engagement, so as to provide theoretical basis for developing intervention programs to enhance work engagement of Operating Room nurses.Methods:From October to December 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 260 Operating Room nurses from three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals as research subjects. Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Safety Organizing Scale, and Work Engagement Scale were used to survey Operating Room nurses. AMOS 26.0 software was used to analyze the mediating effect of Operating Room nurses' psychological capital between safety organization and work engagement.Results:A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 92.69%. Among 241 Operating Room nurses, the total scores of Work Engagement Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Safety Organizing Scale were (37.35±7.30), (90.10±11.62), and (41.58±10.82), respectively. The total score and scores of each dimension of the Work Engagement Scale were positively correlated with the total score and scores of each dimension of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the total score of the Safe Organizing Scale ( P<0.05). The total score and scores of each dimension of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire were positively correlated with the total score of the Safe Organizing Scale ( P<0.05). Mediating effect analysis showed that the direct effect of safety organization on work engagement of Operating Room nurses was established, with an effect value of 0.266 ( P<0.05). Psychological capital played a partially mediating effect between safety organization and work engagement of, with an effect value of 0.275, and the mediating effect accounted for 50.83% of the total effect. Conclusions:Safety organization has a positive impact on work engagement of Operating Room nurses, and psychological capital partially mediates the effect between safety organization and work engagement of Operating Room nurses. Hospital nursing administrators should be aware of the importance of building a safety organization and pay attention to building the psychological capital of Operating Room nurses so as to improve work engagement.
