This study aims at determining the competencies of Korean nurses in prenatal genetic nursing.
First, a 3-round Delphi survey was conducted to establish prenatal genetic nursing competencies. Second, a prenatal genetic nursing education program (PGNEP), incorporating the findings from the Delphi survey, was designed. Third, a single group pre- and post-quasi-experimental study at a PGNEP workshop was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the integration of the competencies into the PGNEP with the measurements of knowledge about prenatal genetic testing and nursing (K-PGTN) and information needs about prenatal genetic testing and nursing (I-PGTN). Finally, the identified competencies were reexamined for their clarity
Based on the Delphi survey 78 competency components were identified. The components were then classified under 10 categories, which were organized under 4 domains. The domain of “experiential genetic nursing knowledge” and the domain of “ethics and law” were ranked as the first and the second in significance. The quasi experimental study showed that the mean scores in K-PGTN were significantly increased from 8.19±2.67 to 11.25±2.51 (P<0.001). The mean scores of “ethics and law” in I-PGTN decreased significantly (P=0.023). The headings of 4 categories and 2 domains were revised.
This study identified competencies for prenatal genetic nursing and nursing education in Korea. There is a need for nursing instructors and researchers to improve the competencies of nurses in the identified areas. Particular emphasis should be placed on experiential nursing knowledge and on ethics and law related to prenatal genetic nursing.
本研究旨在确定韩国护士在产前遗传护理方面的能力。
首先，进行了三轮德尔菲调查，以确定产前遗传护理能力。其次，设计了产前遗传护理教育计划（PGNEP），纳入了德尔菲调查的结果。第三，在 PGNEP 研讨会中进行了单组前后准实验研究，以评估将这些能力整合到 PGNEP 中对知识（K-PGTN）和对产前遗传检测和护理的信息需求（I-PGTN）的影响。最后，重新检查了确定的能力，以确保其清晰。
基于德尔菲调查，确定了 78 项能力组成部分。然后，将这些组件分为 10 个类别，再分为 4 个领域。“经验遗传护理知识”领域和“伦理与法律”领域被评为第一和第二重要。准实验研究表明，K-PGTN 的平均分数从 8.19±2.67 显著增加到 11.25±2.51（P<0.001）。I-PGTN 的“伦理与法律”的平均分数显著降低（P=0.023）。4 个类别和 2 个领域的标题进行了修订。
本研究确定了韩国产前遗传护理和护理教育的能力。护理教师和研究人员需要提高护士在已确定领域的能力。应特别强调经验性护理知识以及与产前遗传护理相关的伦理和法律。
