Little is known whether the educational programmes that prepare maternal, child and family health nurses (MCFHNs) for practice in Australia have kept up with new knowledge and understanding of the early years of life.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> A survey of all maternal, child and family health education programmes offered in Australia was undertaken.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Findings:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Marked variations in course titles, length, content, clinical exposure and award exist across the 12 institutions offering such programmes in Australia. Many institutions provide inadequate preparation in some of the core skills required of the workforce.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The establishment of minimum standards for the education of MCFHNs across Australia is required. This study also highlights the need for further research around the scope of practice of MCFHNs, and the role of midwives who are not nurses, in this specialty area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1466-7657.2011.00968.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,8]],"date-time":"2012-03-08T18:54:02Z","timestamp":1331232842000},"page":"200-207","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Educational preparation for maternal, child and family health nurses in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Kruske","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Grant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"AIHW(2010)Nursing and midwifery labour force 2008 bulletin number 81 AIHW cat no AUS 130.Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Canberra."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"AQFC(2011)Australian Qualifications Framework.Ministerial Council For Tertiary Education And Employment South Australia."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1322-7696(08)60071-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","volume-title":"Clinical Practice Guidelines for Depression and Related Disorders \u2013 Anxiety, Biopolar Disorders and Puerperal Psychosis \u2013 In the Perinatal Period","author":"beyondblue","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5172\/conu.2006.23.2.303"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","unstructured":"Canadian Public Health Nurse Association(2010)Public Health\u2010Community Health Nursing Practice In Canada: Roles And Activities.
