Nurses and midwives need to develop specific knowledge and skills in genetics to enable them to offer appropriate healthcare in a range of non-specialist settings. Studies on the topic indicate that while nurses acknowledged the importance of genetics knowledge to their work, both their knowledge and confidence in using such information are poor. Despite the existence of competence frameworks, it appears that educators have struggled with the need to integrate genetics into nursing and midwifery curricula. An expert workshop on genetics education was held to determine the essential components of genetics knowledge and skills that should be incorporated into the pre-registration nursing curriculum in European countries. In this paper we present the essential topics for nurse and midwife pre-registration education and suggest ways in which genetics might be incorporated into the nursing and midwifery curriculum.
护士和助产士需要掌握遗传学方面的特定知识和技能，以便能够在一系列非专科环境中提供适当的医疗保健服务。关于该主题的研究表明，虽然护士承认遗传学知识对其工作很重要，但他们在运用此类信息方面的知识和信心都很欠缺。尽管存在能力框架，但教育工作者似乎在将遗传学融入护理和助产课程方面面临困难。举办了一次遗传学教育专家研讨会，以确定应纳入欧洲国家注册前护理课程的遗传学知识和技能的基本组成部分。在本文中，我们介绍了护士和助产士注册前教育的基本主题，并提出了将遗传学纳入护理和助产课程的方法。
