Documenting a patient's family history of cancer is useful in assessing their predisposition to some types of hereditary cancers. A group of nurses working with cancer patients were surveyed, by way of a questionnaire, to determine their level of knowledge about oncogenetics, describe various issues related to their capacity to identify, refer and support individuals with a hereditary risk of cancer, and explore their interest in continuing education on this topic. The findings show limited knowledge and a low sense of competence among the participating nurses, as well as a lack of access to university and continuing education programs in this field. Training focused on competency development would enhance their capacity to carry out an initial assessment of individuals who are potentially at risk for cancer and refer them to specialized resources.
记录患者的癌症家族史有助于评估他们患某些类型遗传性癌症的易感性。通过问卷调查的方式，对一组照顾癌症患者的护士进行了调查，以确定她们对肿瘤遗传学的了解程度，描述与她们识别、转诊和支持有遗传性癌症风险个体的能力相关的各种问题，并探讨她们对该主题继续教育的兴趣。调查结果显示，参与调查的护士知识有限，能力意识淡薄，并且无法参加该领域的大学和继续教育课程。专注于能力发展的培训将提高她们对潜在癌症风险个体进行初步评估并将其转诊至专业资源的能力。
