Objective To meet the needs of personalized nursing services for pregnant women, the LDR Room was established and implemented, aiming to observe the practical effect of the LDR Room model in obstetric nursing. Methods An LDR Room nursing model was developed, including the setup of the LDR Room and its equipment, staffing and job management, integrated service processes, and management of prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. The maternal delivery outcome indicators, breastfeeding rates, and maternal satisfaction were observed before and after implementing the LDR Room management model. Results After implementing the LDR Room management model, there were statistically significant differences in the maternal delivery outcome indicators, breastfeeding status, and hospital stay satisfaction of primiparas compared to those in conventional delivery rooms (P < 0.05). Conclusion The LDR Room model can shorten the birth time of parturient women, reduce the vaginal birth-aid rate and cesarean section rate, decrease postpartum hemorrhage, improve the breastfeeding rate and natural childbirth rate of hospitalized parturient women, further improve patient satisfaction and childbirth experience, enhance the social status of midwives and their confidence as clinical nursing experts, and gain the recognition of doctors and parturient women.
