الملخص EN

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 5-day (20 hour) maternal nutrition nursing continuing education (CE) programme on Diploma nurses’ knowledge working in Primary Health Care Centres.

Twenty nurses from Primary Health Care Centres (PHCC) completed a questionnaire designed for the purpose of this study before and after the participation in the CE Programme.

Post-test scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores.

One hundred percent of the nurses felt that their knowledge concerning maternal nutrition improved to a better level as compared to pre-programme knowledge.

About 85 % still had average confidence to teach.
