Abstract： ABSTRACT: Objective? To explore the influence of head nurses’ leadership behavior with professional identity as an intermediary on nurses’ turnover intention. Methods? Convenient sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on general information, hospital leadership behavior assessment scale, professional identity scale, and turnover intention? questionnaire among 124 nurses in a tertiary hospital in Xi’an. Results The head nurse’s leadership behavior score was(81.41±10.08)points, and the pm leadership type accounted for 49.19% of all nurses; The professional identity score was (104.76±13.86) points, and the total mean score of turnover intention was (2.28±0.68) points. The head nurse’s leadership behavior was positively correlated with professional identity (r=0.546, P＜0.01), was negatively correlated with turnover intention (r=-0.468, P＜0.01); professional identity was negatively correlated with turnover intention (r=-0.522, P＜0.01). Professional identity played a part of the mediating role in the relationship between the head nurse’s leadership behavior and turnover intention, and the mediating effect accounted for 44.68% of the total effect. Conclusion The leadership behavior of head nurses indirectly affects the turnover intention through professional. Hospital managers should pay attention to improving the leadership behavior of head nurses to enhance nurse’s professional identity, help reduce nurse’s turnover intention and stabilize the nursing team.
