Abstract
Perinatal education is delivered by maternity services to improve health literacy, health, and experience outcomes. The needs of parents when designing and implementing perinatal programs have been understudied. This study's aim was to understand the needs of expectant and new parents in relation to perinatal education and to apply these findings to guide the development and implementation of a new program. Following interviews with parents from a Queensland maternity hospital, thematic analysis revealed themes that were mapped to implementation science frameworks to inform implementation strategies. One metatheme, "navigating the journey," four primary themes, and eight subthemes were identified. This study identified factors that can be leveraged to support implementation success and highlights strategies to enhance implementation efficacy.

The JPE also publishes features that provide practical resources and advice health care professionals can use to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their care or teaching to prepare expectant parents for birth. The journal''s content focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, breastfeeding, neonatal care, early parenting, and young family development.
