An empirical study of integration models and mechanisms for maternity care in innovative vocational education.

ABSTRACT: Integrated vocational education is increasingly essential for addressing maternal health disparities in under-resourced regions of China. Persistent workforce shortages and fragmented training models have contributed to inconsistent care delivery, particularly in Western provinces. This study evaluated an integrated model that combines simulation-based learning, structured supervision, and early clinical immersion to enhance training effectiveness. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design assessed the model's impact on patient satisfaction, student interaction, and perceived maternal complications. Quantitative data were collected from 300 participants, including students, maternity nurses, clinical instructors, and postnatal patients, and analyzed using SPSS and partial least squares st
