Nurses have a pivotal role in bringing the benefits of genomics and precision medicine to everyday health care, but concerted global effort is needed transform nursing policy practice address widely acknowledged deficits nurses' genomic literacy. The purpose was conduct country organization review engagement with genomics, informing landscape analysis assess readiness for integration into nursing.Global leaders organizations were recruited using purposive sampling strategy complete an online...

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this article is to explore the interaction between integration genetics‐genomics competencies into nursing curricula and regulatory standards. By taking a global perspective activity in field, we develop framework that can inform strategic planning relation international education. Methods: We focus our exploration around small‐scale survey on progress, achievements, critical success factors 10 countries education, with exemplars from three those countries....

Abstract Aim To report a review of genetics education framework using consensus approach to agree on contemporary and comprehensive revised framework. Background Advances in genomic health care have been significant since the first for nurses was developed 2003. These, coupled with developments policy international efforts promote nursing competence genetics, indicated that timely. Design A structured, iterative, primarily qualitative approach, based nominal group technique. Method meeting...

Abstract Purpose The changes needed to accelerate integration of genomics across nursing are complex, with significant challenges faced globally. Common themes lend themselves a coordinated and collaborative strategic approach sustained change. We aim synthesize the outputs research program present roadmap for leadership guide practice. Design Mixed methods involving purposive sample global leaders organizations in sustained, highly interactive program. Methods Experts nursing, health care...

Purpose: Faculty knowledge of genomics, learner competencies, and program requirements for nursing education are described to assist educators in introducing genomic information into undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, continuing programs regardless geographic location. Selected the United States Kingdom illustrate successful approaches used by faculty enhance their order increase application genetic content within curricula. Organizing Construct: Nursing guidelines competencies provide...

To introduce current and emerging approaches that are being utilized in the field of genomics so reader can conceptually evaluate literature appreciate how these advancing our understanding health-related issues.Each approach is described includes information related to it research, its potential clinical utility, exemplars uses, challenges technologies used for approaches, when appropriate evidence base utilization each provided. Web-based resources included who would like more in-depth...

Abstract Purpose Nurse leaders driving strategic integration of genomics across nursing need tools and resources to evaluate their environment, guide strategies address deficits, benchmark progress. We describe the development pilot testing a self‐assessment maturity matrix (MM) that enables users current state genomic competency for country or group; guides course improvement implementation; assesses change over time. Design Mixed‐methods participatory research self‐assessment. Methods...

The reciprocal translocations T(X;4)37H and T(X;11)38H were induced by acute X-irradiation of spermatozoa. Male heterozygotes are completely aspermic with a spermatogenic block at pachytene testis masses about one third normal, though metaphase I is very occasionally reached in T37H. For both the X chromosome breakpoints band XA2, autosomal 4D3 for T37H 11E1 T38H, leading to long short marker chromosomes. Chain quadrivalents predominated oocytes MI, no rings; there 32% trivalent + univalent...

Abstract Genomics is an ever increasing aspect of nursing practice, with focus being directed towards improving health. The authors present implementation strategy for the incorporation genomics into practice within UK, based on three behaviour change theories and identification individuals who are likely to provide support change. Individuals identified as Opinion Leaders Adopters illustrate how changes in might occur among profession. core philosophy that genomic nurse have direct...

The rapid increase in gene-disease discoveries offers real promise of clinical applications for people and families affected by genetic conditions but which health professionals are not prepared because lack training. availability clinically relevant education resources is critical to enabling nurses develop the appropriate genetics-genomics knowledge skills provide optimum care individuals families. Internet a core resource support teaching learning nurse education. Evaluating such...

Advances in genetics are bringing unprecedented opportunities for understanding health and disease, developing new therapies changes healthcare practice. Many nurses midwives lack competence confidence integrating into professional One approach to enhance of is simulate clinical exposure through storytelling. Stories acknowledged as a powerful learning tool, being understandable memorable, stimulating critical thinking, linking theory Telling Stories, Understanding Real Life Genetics freely...

BackgroundCardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and genetic risk factors play role in nearly all such cases. In the UK, health service capacity to meet either current or future estimated needs people affected by inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs) inadequate. 2008 British Heart Foundation funded nine three-year Cardiac Genetics Nurse (CGN) posts across England Wales enhance ICC services. The CGNs were experienced nurses who had additional training genetics acted...

Abstract Aim To identify the characteristics of nurses who are using genetics in practice and consider implications findings for optimizing its wider uptake. Background Nurses crucial realizing benefits from advances genetic genomic health care. Although many recognize as an important component disease, most feel unprepared to engage with it practice. The Diffusion Innovation theory provides a useful framework describe different levels engagement. Identifying have engaged (adopters) may...

Abstract Genomic knowledge and technology have developed rapidly over the last decade increased our capabilities to diagnose manage rare diseases. However, current genomic datasets lack ethnic diversity as many studies focused on participants of white European ancestry. Studies, such Deciphering Developmental Disorders study, been available any ancestry but unsuccessful in recruiting diverse populations. The inclusion populations exome genome sequencing is important ensure that clinical...
