Abstract：Objective To analyze the influence path of medical students'professional identity on positive defensive medical behaviors and examine the mediating effect of medical risk perception between the two,aiming to provide theoretical support and practical reference for medical education to actively adapt to the demands of the medical and health system reform and promote the scientific guidance of positive defensive medical behaviors.Methods ln 2020,a questionnaire survey was conducted among medical students from four medical colleges in Heilongjiang Province using cluster sampling method,and data analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0 software.Results Medical students'professional identity showed a significant positive correlation with their positive defensive medical behavior(β=0.225,P＜0.001),with medical risk perception acting as a partial mediator(indirect effect accounting for 19%of the total effect).Professional identity(β=0.183,P＜0.001)and medical risk perception(β=0.195,P＜0.001)exerted direct positive effects on positive defensive medical behavior.Conclusion Medical students'professional identity drives them to adopt positive defensive medical behaviors by strengthening their sense of responsibility ethics and risk cognition ability,and medical risk perception is a key mediating variable in this process.Educational management should integrate policy-oriented clinical decision-making training and balance medical safety and efficiency through the collaborative mechanism of"professional identity-risk perception-behavioral practice".
