In recent years, with the advent of the era of educational digitalization, the curriculum ideological and political teaching of gerontological nursing in higher vocational colleges has ushered in new development opportunities. Under the background of educational digitalization, in addition to teaching students’ professional knowledge and skills of gerontological nursing, teachers should also focus on improving their ideological and moral literacy, guiding students to establish correct values in their hearts, promoting their all-round development in a true sense, and thus cultivating them into gerontological nursing talents with exquisite medical skills and noble medical ethics. This will better meet the social demand for professional gerontological nursing talents and inject inexhaustible motivation into the development of the elderly care industry. In this regard, this paper first elaborates on the value implication of the curriculum ideological and political teaching reform of higher vocational gerontological nursing under the background of educational digitalization, and then puts forward effective implementation strategies for teaching reform, aiming to provide certain reference for relevant researchers and better improve the effectiveness of curriculum ideological and political education in higher vocational gerontological nursing teaching.
