Due to the significant developments in genetic health services that have occurred, nurses now must strive to incorporate cutting-edge information from this fast-evolving field into their day-to-day practice. This study examined the amount and the content of genetics education in Korean nursing textbooks. We analyzed 165 textbooks that were published by four companies between 2005 and 2009. Eighty percent contained some information on genetics; however, the content was limited to bioscience, the latest information on common diseases, and nursing interventions in genetics. There was an average of six pages of genetics content in the seven specialized textbooks on nursing that were analyzed. This indicates that many topics on genetics need to be incorporated into Korean nursing education, especially in light of the recent genetic innovations in all curricular areas of nursing education. We recommend the establishment of strategic perspectives to bridge the content gaps in genetics education in nursing.
由于遗传健康服务的重大发展，护士现在必须努力将这一快速发展领域的最新信息纳入日常实践中。本研究调查了韩国护理教材中遗传学教育的数量和内容。我们分析了 2005 年至 2009 年间四家公司出版的 165 本教材。80%的教材包含了一些遗传学信息，但内容仅限于生物科学、常见疾病的最新信息以及遗传学中的护理干预措施。在分析的七本护理专业教材中，平均有六页的遗传学内容。这表明需要将许多遗传学主题纳入韩国护理教育中，特别是鉴于护理教育的所有课程领域最近的遗传创新。我们建议建立战略视角来弥合护理遗传学教育内容差距。
