Abstract：Objective To explore the mediating effect of perceived stress between professional identity and innovative behavior in e-mergency nurses.Methods A total of 202 emergency nurses from three tertiary A hospitals in Beijing,Shenyang and Shanghai were surveyed using the general data questionnaire,Nurse's Career Identity Scale,Perceived Stress Scale and Nurse Innovative Behavior Scale.Results The total scores of professional identity,perceived stress and innovative behavior were(81.75±15.99),(38.83±6.90)and(33.39±9.18),respective-ly.Professional identity showed a significantly negative correlation with perceived stress(r=-0.485,P＜0.01)and a positive correlation with in-novative behavior(r=0.537,P＜0.01),and perceived stress was negatively correlated with innovative behavior(r=-0.319,P＜0.01).Perceived stress partially mediated between professional identity and innovative behavior,accounting for 30.61% of the variance.Conclusion Emergency nurses possess a moderate level of professional identity,face considerable perceived stress,and exhibit a medium high level of innovative behav-ior.Perceived stress plays a mediating effect between professional identity and innovative behavior.It is suggested that nursing managers should take related interventions to reduce perceptual pressure,improve nurses'professional identity,and then stimulate innovative behaviors.
