Methods: Space resources in the obstetrics and gynecology intensive care unit were reorganized and optimally allocated. Nurses received training and assessment on family-integrated management knowledge specific to the obstetrics and gynecology ICU. Management rules and regulations for family-integrated care were established. Primary caregivers were encouraged and supported to participate in specialized education and caregiving during the hospitalization of pregnant women. Results: Key outcomes such as labor duration, delivery outcomes, neonatal nursing skills, length of hospital stay, and psychological parameters (measured using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and the Self-Rating Depression Scale) were compared between groups before and after the intervention. Patient and family satisfaction were also evaluated. Conclusion: Family-integrated ward management effectively shortened the labor process, reduced patient anxiety, decreased hospitalization duration, and enhanced family satisfaction.
