The mainstreaming of genomics across healthcare specialties necessitates that all nurses and midwives have a high literacy in genomics. We aimed to design, develop, implement and evaluate a genomics education workshop for nurses and midwives using action research principles. Registered nurses and midwives completed an online survey regarding genomics confidence and learning needs (n = 274). The results of this survey were used to develop the genomics education workshop. The workshop was run three times (n = 105) with evaluation data being collected both before and after each workshop. Significant improvements in confidence across all learning domains was found following the workshops ( < 0.001). A desire for more education across all learning domains except for genetics knowledge was also identified ( < 0.001). Genomics education workshops were found to increase the confidence of nurses and midwives across a range of specialties. Nurses and midwives also expressed a desire for further education in genomics.
基因组学在各个医疗保健专业中的主流化要求所有护士和助产士具备较高的基因组学素养。我们旨在运用行动研究原则，为护士和助产士设计、开发、实施并评估一个基因组学教育工作坊。注册护士和助产士完成了一项关于基因组学信心和学习需求的在线调查（n = 274）。该调查结果被用于开发基因组学教育工作坊。该工作坊共举办了三次（n = 105），每次工作坊前后都收集了评估数据。工作坊结束后，发现所有学习领域的信心都有显著提高（< 0.001）。除了遗传学知识外，在所有学习领域也都发现了对更多教育的需求（< 0.001）。发现基因组学教育工作坊提高了各个专业护士和助产士的信心。护士和助产士也表达了对基因组学进一步教育的渴望。
