Abstract: Objectives To analyze the current situation of decent work perception,professional identity and turnover intention of nursing workers in 5 cities in northeast Sichuan,and to explore the correlation among decent work perception,professional identity and turnover intention. Methods From March to June 2021,a convenient sampling method was adopted to investigate nursing staff in 5 cities in northeast Sichuan Province from March to June 2021 by using general data questionnaire,decent work perception scale,nurses professional identity rating scale and turnover intention scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The perceived score of decent work was （53.80±10.11）points,the total average score of professional identity was （110.90±23.96）points,the total average score of resignation intention was （13.13±3.78）points,and the total average score of the 3 dimensions were more than 3 points. There was a significant positive correlation between nursing staff's perception of decent work and professional identity（r=0.804,P<0.01）. A significant negative correlation existed between perception of decent work and turnover intention（r=-0.345,P<0.01）,between professional identity and turnover intention（r=-0.436,P<0.01）,respectively. Conclusion Nurses' dimission intention is at a high level,and the perception of decent work and professional identity are negatively correlated with the dimission intention. Improving nurses' perception of decent work and professional identity can effectively reduce the dimission intention.
