  'An online survey to determine the antenatal education needs of primigravid women attending the CWIUH to inform a programme of antenatal education offered by midwives'
  Summary

  In March 2020, all CWIUH antenatal class services ceased in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and in line with HSE recommendations. The CWIUH parent education team has since designed and developed interactive online classes comprising video presentations, and a live discussion platform for women and their partners to interact in a virtual capacity with healthcare professionals. As part of our commitment to developing the programme of antenatal education offered by midwives, we are conducting an online survey to identify the antenatal education needs of primigravid women attending the CWIUH in the absence of face-to-face antenatal education classes.

  Participant recruitment is an important aspect of research. Poor recruitment can result in increased costs and delayed and ambiguous results. Midwives face many challenges in recruiting research participants and are called upon to engage in research as part of their professional development. Inspired by this, the aim of this research was to explore midwives' perceptions and experiences of recruiting participants to research studies.

  Developing Antenatal Education in Preparation for Motherhood - A Participatory Action Research Approach
  Summary

  Aim: To develop antenatal education in preparation for motherhood, based on knowledge created in collaboration with mothers to be, mothers and antenatal educators. Methodology: This research was guided by a participatory worldview, using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach influenced by feminist concerns and grounded in the interests and experiences of women and antenatal educators. An action research cycle of constructing, planning action, taking action and evaluating action was used. Information was gathered through a variety of techniques;group meetings(n=18) and individual (n=7)conversations were the principal methods of data gathering. Conversations were analysed using the Listening Guide, a voice-centred relational method, which involved multiple consecutive readings of each conversation. Ethical approval was granted by the relevant research settings and the University. Findings: Cycles of action research are described throughout the findings chapters. Women portray their learning needs for pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Various themes including loneliness, coping after birth, and, the relevance of knowledge that is grounded in the real-life experiences of other mothers are highlighted. Practice issues, and enabling and restraining forces for change are identified by antenatal educators. A theoretical model of antenatal education is proposed.
