摘要
Research shows limited emphasis being placed on oral health by midwives in Australia and the need for further education in this area. The study aim was to pilot a midwifery oral health education programme and knowledge test and identify any flaws in its content and design. Twenty-two midwives from an antenatal ward in South-Western Sydney completed the programme and 12 feedback forms/knowledge tests were returned. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Feedback data showed all midwives appreciated that the programme was available online and self-paced. Most found the programme extremely informative and following completion were more confident in promoting maternal oral health. The mean correct responses in the knowledge test was 79% (SD = 12.3) which suggests most items were suitable for assessing knowledge improvement. However, in three items midwives had low correct responses. Various aspects that could be improved or clarified were identified and suggestions discussed.
