It is recommended that all pregnant women should receive a comprehensive oral health evaluation because poor maternal oral health may affect pregnancy outcomes and the general health of the woman and her baby. Midwives are well placed to provide dental health advice and referral. However, in Australia, little emphasis has been placed on the educational needs of midwives to undertake this role. This article outlines the development of an online education program designed to improve midwives' dental health knowledge, prepare them to assess the oral health of women, refer when required, and provide appropriate dental education to women and their families. The program consists of reading and visual material to assist with the oral health assessment process and includes competency testing.
建议所有孕妇都应接受全面的口腔健康评估，因为孕产妇口腔健康状况不佳可能会影响妊娠结局以及产妇自身和胎儿的总体健康。助产士具备提供口腔健康建议和转诊服务的良好条件。然而，在澳大利亚，对于助产士承担这一角色的教育需求却很少受到重视。本文概述了一个在线教育项目的开发情况，该项目旨在提高助产士的口腔健康知识水平，使他们有能力评估女性的口腔健康状况，在需要时进行转诊，并为女性及其家人提供适当的口腔健康教育。该项目包括用于辅助口腔健康评估过程的阅读材料和视觉材料，还包括能力测试。
