Ideological and political education’s impact on medical students’ bioethical concept formation: A GNN-based analysis
Abstract
Biomechanics plays a crucial role in understanding the physiological and mechanical processes within the medical field. In the context of medical education, integrating ideological and political education with bioethical concepts has become an important aspect. This study explores the intersection of these elements and its impact on medical students. The cultivation of bioethical concepts in medical education plays a critical role in enhancing medical students’ professional ethics and overall quality. Bioethics education not only helps students understand the ethical challenges in medical practice, but also shapes their values and social responsibility, improving their ethical decision-making abilities in real-world situations. The results show that through a survey of 300 medical students and GNN model analysis, it was found that ideological and political education significantly enhanced students’ understanding of bioethics and decision-making abilities. Students’ ethical awareness scores increased by 57% (p < 0.05), and the accuracy of ethical decision-making tasks improved by 30%. This indicates a strong positive correlation between ideological and political education and bioethical concept formation, which may have implications for the biomechanical aspects of medical practice and education. The educational effect is evident not only in the improvement of knowledge but also in the development of students’ ethical judgment and social responsibility. This study validates the effectiveness of integrating ideological and political education with medical ethics education, providing a theoretical basis and practical guidance for reforms in medical education.
