Nurses are expected to apply genomic concepts in clinical practice. This study evaluated undergraduate nursing students' genomic knowledge and attitudes about using this knowledge in practice. Using a pretest-posttest design, findings indicated that students' knowledge was poor, but improved over a semester with genomics content. Most students did not feel ready to use this knowledge in the clinical setting. These findings suggest the need for more genomic education in nursing curriculum.
护士应在临床实践中应用基因组学概念。本研究评估了本科护理专业学生的基因组学知识以及对在实践中运用这些知识的态度。采用前测-后测设计,结果表明学生的知识水平较差,但在一个学期的基因组学课程学习后有所提高。大多数学生认为自己尚未准备好在临床环境中运用这些知识。这些发现表明护理课程需要更多的基因组学教育。
