The current study aimed to measure genomic literacy among Jordanian nurses by evaluating their understanding of key genomic concepts and how they view genomics in nursing practice. Descriptive, Cross-sectional, and Correlational designs were used in this study. A descriptive design was used using the Genomic Nursing Concept Inventory (GNCI©), a 31-item instrument. Data were collected from a total of 751 participants. A total of 406 participants were female, and 395 (52.6%) were single. The mean score of the genome basics was 2.33, ranging from 0 to 13. The mean score of the knowledge about mutation was 0.57, ranging from 0 to 3. At the same time, the mean score for inheritance and genomic healthcare was 1.74 and 1.53, respectively. Nurses working in the oncology center had the highest genomic knowledge score (mean = 7.05, SD = 4.24) compared with nurses in other healthcare sectors (p = < .001). There is a low level of genomic literacy among Jordanian nurses. Nurses must have sufficient genomic literacy to provide the best nursing care to patients, their families, and the community. Jordanian nurse authorities must develop competencies representing a minimum standard of care to provide competent genomic and genetically focused care.
本研究旨在通过评估约旦护士对关键基因组概念的理解以及他们对护理实践中基因组学的看法，来衡量他们的基因组素养。本研究采用描述性、横断面和相关性设计。使用描述性设计，采用了 31 项的基因组护理概念量表（GNCI©）。共收集了 751 名参与者的数据。共有 406 名参与者为女性，395 名（52.6%）为单身。基因组基础知识的平均得分为 2.33，范围为 0 到 13。突变知识的平均得分为 0.57，范围为 0 到 3。同时，遗传和基因组医疗保健的平均得分为 1.74 和 1.53。与其他医疗保健领域的护士相比，在肿瘤中心工作的护士的基因组知识得分最高（均值=7.05，标准差=4.24）（p<0.001）。约旦护士的基因组素养水平较低。护士必须具备足够的基因组素养，才能为患者、其家属和社区提供最佳的护理。约旦护士管理部门必须制定代表最低护理标准的能力，以提供有能力的基因组和以基因为重点的护理。
