Participation: the key to learning for patients in antepartal clinics.
An approach to patient education which recognized successful participation in the learning process as a key factor in providing information for antepartal clinic patients, known to be poorly motivated, was instituted without changing any system or organization and using a minimal amount of nursing and patient time. Important information on care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and care of the newborn was shared. Group process also provided a vehicle for expression of feelings, opportunity for reassurance, and direction for particular action. The difficulties inherent in this approach to learning are recognized and recommendations are made for dealing with them.

Recognizing the onset of labor.
An experimental study compared the use of an educational technique based on patient participation with routine instructions to prepare patients to recognize the onset of active labor. The number of visits to the labor suite that resulted in the patient being discharged undelivered was significantly lower in patients who received the educational intervention. The study revealed that, without any increase in time, nurses can prepare patients to make judgments about the need for hospitalization.
