  "abstract": "Background: Demand for emotional labor is increasing among psychiatric nurses who are now more at risk for job burnout, and emotional labor strategies or emotion regulation styles may be important mechanisms in this process.\n\nAim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among emotional labor, emotion regulation, and job burnout in psychiatric nurses, and to examine cognitive reappraisal as a potential moderator of the relationship between surface acting and burnout.\n\nMethods: During January-February 2025, a cross-sectional survey was performed among on-duty nurses in a tertiary psychiatric hospital located in Zhejiang Province, China. Emotional labor, emotion regulation, job burnout, nursing professional values, perceived decent work and innovative capacity were assessed using validated Chinese scales. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, multiple linear regression, hierarchical moderation analysis, and simple slope analysis were performed. Regression assumptions, multicollinearity, and common method bias were additionally assessed.\n\nResults: Of 245 returned questionnaires, 241 were included in the final analysis. After adjustment for demographic and work-related factors, surface acting was positively associated with job burnout (β = 0.416, 95% CI: 0.249–0.582, p < 0.001), whereas cognitive reappraisal was inversely associated with burnout (β = −0.419, 95% CI: −0.560 to −0.278, p < 0.001). The surface acting × cognitive reappraisal interaction was statistically significant but small (β = −0.137, 95% CI: −0.238 to −0.036, ΔR² = 0.019, f² = 0.032, p = 0.008).\n\nConclusion: Higher surface acting was associated with higher job burnout, whereas higher cognitive reappraisal was associated with lower burnout. Cognitive reappraisal also showed a small moderating association, with the positive association between surface acting and burnout becoming weaker at higher levels of reappraisal. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the temporal direction and practical relevance of these associations.",
