Abstract: With the rapid development of the global nursing profession, job crafting ability has become an increasingly hot topic in academic research. The purpose of this review is to examine the research progress on the impact of job crafting ability among clinical nurses, explore its definition, influencing factors, and negative impacts, and analyze various factors affecting nurses' job crafting ability, including demographic, psychological, organizational, and environmental factors. It was found that demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, education, and title) and psychological factors (e.g., psychological capital and professional identity) influence job crafting ability. Finally, this study explores the potential negative consequences of low job crafting competence, particularly at the individual, hospital, and societal levels, including workforce separation, burnout, and other issues. In summary, enhancing clinical nurses' job crafting ability is crucial for improving nursing quality and supporting nurses' career development. Future studies should further explore effective interventions to enhance nurses' job crafting ability.
