| Rural nursing institutions play a crucial role in enhancing the accessibility of elderly care services in rural areas. However, challenges such as welfare exclusion and involution exist. A five-dimensional analytical framework encompassing space, factors, structure, cognition, and service, from an embeddedness perspective, is established in the study. The study examines the mechanism of transforming rural nursing institutions to facilitate embedded elderly care service provision and enhance governance effectiveness. Based on a field survey conducted in L-town, Anhui Province, it was found that the spatial embeddedness of rural nursing institutions promotes the integration of nursing resources by multiple subjects to enhance elemental embeddedness. It also facilitates the establishment of nursing service hubs to localize the production of nursing services, achieving structural embeddedness, and leads to the transformation of nursing ethics towards a coexistence of new family-oriented and public-oriented approaches. This influences rural families' decisions regarding nursing care, encourages the sinking of rural nursing services, and fosters care services and the provision of "multi-nursing integration" embedded living spaces that support. The shift development of rural nursing institutions to expectorate a new embedded elderly care model is the amplification of its welfare attributes. It is conducive to improving the effectiveness of welfare governance, that is, embedded construction of township elderly community to break down the elderly service partition, and promote the referral of elderly care to improve the efficiency of elderly care services as well as the production of empowerment of the family elderly secondary public value. Furthermore, strengthening risk management in post-embedded welfare governance and improving the precision of demand-oriented service embedding are crucial steps in promoting effective elderly care service provision. |
