Abstract:
To analyze the current state and issues of ideological education for graduate students of general practice, from April 10 to Dec 19, 2024, a literature review was conducted on publications from Jan 1, 2001, to Dec 19, 2024, in the CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases to identify research entry points. Purposive sampling was used to select postgraduate students majoring in general practice at Guangzhou Medical University and their corresponding faculty as the study participants. A semi-structured in-depth interview method was employed to investigate the current state of ideological and political education. Faculty evaluations of students and their recommendations for ideological and political education were also considered. Thematic framework analysis was applied to the interview data for categorization, integration, and theme extraction. The literature review revealed that enhancing professional identity can strengthen career commitment, leading to the design of an ideological and political education interview outline focused on professional belief and professional identity. The study included 13 general practice postgraduates (mean age: 24.5±1.4 years), of whom 8 were directional students and 5 were non-directional students. Additionally, 7 general practice faculty members were included (mean age: 41.3±5.4 years), with an average of 16.3±5.6 years of experience in general practice education. Five themes were extracted from the interviews: the necessity of ideological and political education, the relationship between professional belief and its educational effects, the intrinsic motivation of ideological beliefs, the influence of external factors on beliefs, and effective approaches to ideological and political education. The study also identified current issues in ideological and political education for general practice postgraduates, including inadequate career planning guidance, reluctance to work in underdeveloped areas, over-reliance on the role modeling of faculty mentors, lack of systematic courses and frameworks for ideological and political education, and limited opportunities for team projects and communication platforms. The current state of ideological and political education for general practice postgraduates reveals deficiencies in career planning support, systematic course construction, practical opportunities, and communication platforms. Education methods remain overly simplistic and are significantly influenced by external factors, underscoring the need for optimization and enhancement.
