Learning needs as perceived by women less than or equal to 16 weeks pregnant.
In April 1997, 120 women < or = 16 weeks gestation responded to a survey conducted by the Middlesex-London Health Unit, which identified learning needs of women in their first trimester of pregnancy. This survey was part of a larger community initiative to plan, develop and implement first trimester "Prenatal Health Fairs" in London, Ontario. A listing of topics identified by women as most salient to their learning needs is included. There was a strong emergence of the need to include environmental health issues in the first trimester curriculum. The ranking of topics was unrelated to age, education and employment status with the exception that employed women were more likely to rank coping with discomforts of pregnancy, reasons for regular prenatal care and physical changes of pregnancy as important. Specific information related to reasons for attending a health fair, best times, locations and methods of advertising is addressed.

Research utilization: evaluation of initiatives in a public health nursing division.
The need to incorporate research findings into public health nursing has never been greater. This paper describes briefly, the initiatives to promote research in a public health nursing division and the results of the evaluation questionnaire. Results indicated that public health nurses valued research and felt comfortable with the concepts and phases of the research utilization model. They would engage in research activities if conducted at team meetings and when time was allotted. They identified administrative support and the supportive environment as being positive facilitators to research utilization. Despite these findings, the majority (67.5%) were not changing their practice as a result of the initiatives. They identified having difficulty formulating a research question and needing assistance with article critique. Time was cited as the greatest deterrent. They felt they did not have time to read research or engage in the steps of the research utilization model. Recommendations from the evaluation include the need to designate time for research utilization at team meetings. Once the nurses comfort level and value placed on research utilization increases, they may be motivated to initiate research activities on their own.
