This study aimed to explore the current situation regarding medical students' professional identity after COVID-19 in China, as well as the factors that influence it. Questionnaire compiled by Fujian Medical University and self-designed were used, and participators were from one Medical University in Jiangxi Province, a central city of China. Results showed that the professional identity of medical students was upper middle level and the professional attitude was generally positive. There was a significant sex difference in terms of value ( = 2.057, < 0.05) which the scores for boys were higher than girls, whereas the scores for girls were higher than boys when it came to aspects such as professional environment ( = -3.918, < 0.001) and professional cognition ( = -3.855, < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the sense of professional identity between people with and without siblings ( = 2.264, < 0.05). The scores of students who participated in prevention and control of the epidemic were significantly higher than those who did not ( = 2.267, < 0.01). Professional identity decreased gradually in related to higher grades, but it increased at the graduate stage; the grade [ = 10.302, < 0.001] and majors [ = 5.718, < 0.01] differences were significant. Factors such as family members' influence, attitude toward occupation, grades, major, registered residence, and college choosing were the main factors that influenced medical students' professional identity. Overall, the medical students' professional identity needs to be further strengthened in the post COVID-19, it should be increased education regarding career development and planning.
本研究旨在探讨中国新冠疫情后医学生职业认同的现状及其影响因素。采用福建医科大学编制并自行设计的问卷，调查对象来自中国中部城市江西省的一所医科大学。结果显示，医学生的职业认同处于中上等水平，职业态度总体积极。在价值观方面存在显著性别差异（ = 2.057， < 0.05），男生得分高于女生；而在职业环境（ = -3.918， < 0.001）和职业认知（ = -3.855， < 0.001）等方面，女生得分高于男生。有无兄弟姐妹的学生在职业认同感上存在显著差异（ = 2.264， < 0.05）。参与疫情防控的学生得分显著高于未参与的学生（ = 2.267， < 0.01）。职业认同随年级升高逐渐下降，但在研究生阶段有所上升；年级[ = 10.302， < 0.001]和专业[ = 5.718， < 0.01]差异显著。家庭成员影响、职业态度、年级、专业、户籍和高考录取批次等因素是影响医学生职业认同的主要因素。总体而言，新冠疫情后医学生的职业认同有待进一步加强，应加强职业发展与规划教育。
