These forms to educate can be implemented at individual, familiar or community level.

At individual level we must give information to usuries about many different topics, such as sexuality, preservative methods, nutrition, physical exercise, hygiene, or many other subjects that do not escape to our imagination. But, in this case the importance is the form that we give the information to usuries, because our activities, our position, and our security to deliver the information about the topic which is of importance to user because this will determine whether we did a good job, and from this we can implement more attitudes to improve our performance into the educational area.

Other form to educate our usuries at personal level is promote some activities that learn to our users to follow into the responsible and healthy life style, in the areas of sexuality, alimentation, physical exercise and all the areas of her life where we, as midwives, can intervene.

Moreover, we can’t ignore the education at familiar level. In this case, we can educate to mothers, because educating them, we can get the information for families.

Another way we can deliver information is at community level. And in this case we can perform activities as expositive demonstrations, where we can promote community activities, or give relevant information. Another idea for education is going to schools to promote healthy life, in the areas of sexuality, nutrition and others.
