There is limited information on the knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, and practice, about genetics and genomics among Filipino-American nurses. The National Coalition of Ethnic Minority Organizations (NCEMNA), in which the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) is a member organization, conducted an online survey to describe the genomic knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, and practice of minority nurses. This study reports on responses from Filipino-American survey participants, which is a subset analysis of the larger NCEMNA survey.
The purpose of this study was to explore the knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, practice and genomic education of Filipino-American nurses.
An online survey of 112 Filipino-American nurses was conducted to describe the knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, and practice of genetics/genomics. Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Most (94%) Filipino-American nurses wanted to learn more about genetics. Although 41% of the respondents indicated good understanding of genetics of common diseases, 60% had not attended any related continuing education courses since RN licensure, and 73% reported unavailability of genetic courses to take. The majority (83%) of PNAA respondents indicated that they would attend genetics/genomics awareness training if it was offered by their national organization during their annual conference, and 86% reported that the national organization should have a visible role in genetics/genomics initiatives in their community.
Filipino-American nurses wanted to learn more about genetics and were willing to attend genetics/genomics trainings if offered by PNAA. The study findings can assist PNAA in planning future educational programs that incorporates genetics and genomics information.
关于菲律宾裔美国护士对遗传学和基因组学的知识、认知、信念及实践的信息有限。美国少数族裔组织全国联盟（NCEMNA）开展了一项在线调查，以描述少数族裔护士的基因组知识、认知、信念及实践情况，美国菲律宾护士协会（PNAA）是该联盟的成员组织。本研究报告了菲律宾裔美国调查参与者的回复情况，这是对规模更大的NCEMNA调查的子集分析。
本研究的目的是探索菲律宾裔美国护士的知识、认知、信念、实践及基因组学教育情况。
对112名菲律宾裔美国护士进行了在线调查，以描述他们对遗传学/基因组学的知识、认知、信念及实践情况。使用描述性统计方法对调查回复进行了分析。
大多数（94%）菲律宾裔美国护士希望更多地了解遗传学知识。尽管41%的受访者表示对常见疾病的遗传学有较好的理解，但60%的人自获得注册护士执照后未参加过任何相关的继续教育课程，73%的人表示没有遗传课程可供参加。大多数（83%）PNAA受访者表示，如果其全国性组织在年度会议期间提供遗传学/基因组学意识培训，他们会参加，86%的人表示全国性组织应在其社区的遗传学/基因组学倡议中发挥显著作用。
菲律宾裔美国护士希望更多地了解遗传学知识，如果PNAA提供相关培训，他们愿意参加遗传学/基因组学培训。研究结果可协助PNAA规划未来纳入遗传学和基因组学信息的教育项目。
