Abstract: "Professional identity" refers to the establishment of universally recognized values and goals for individuals engaged in a profession after a deep understanding of professional behavior. Related concepts such as professional self-concept,self-identity and social identity also need attention. This article reviews the domestic and international literature,summarizing the concepts,assessment tools and influencing factors of professional identity from different perspectives,such as nurses' personal perspective,the perspective of characteristics of the work environment,the social dimension and family conflicts. It is believed that further exploration of the connotation definition,formation mechanism,and social influence of professional identity should be carried out. A precise survey should be conducted on nurses in public hospitals,aiming to provide ideas for conducting an interventional research on professional identity of nurses in public hospitals in China.
