Abstract

Objective: To study the correlation between professional identity and perceived social support and volunteer service of medical graduates. Methods: The social support comprehension scale, professional identity scale and voluntary service questionnaire were used to evaluate clinical medicine graduates from a medical college in Zhejiang province by random sampling. Results: 1. The professional identity of male medical graduates was higher than that of female medical graduates, and the perception of social support of non-only-children was significantly higher than that of only-children. 2. Social support, volunteer service and professional identity are positively correlated. 3. Volunteer service plays a mediating role in medical graduates' perception of the influence of social support on professional identity. Conclusion: To improve the understanding of social support for medical graduates, construct a voluntary service practice education model, and strengthen the training of medical students' professional identity.
