Nursing genetics and genomics: The International Society of Nurses in Genetics (ISONG) survey.
Nurse Education Today 2018 April
BACKGROUND: The International Society of Nursing in Genetics (ISONG) fosters scientific and professional development in the discovery, interpretation, and application of genomic information in nursing research, education, and clinical practice.
OBJECTIVES: Assess genomic-related activities of ISONG members in research, education and practice, and competencies to serve as global leaders in genomics.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey (21-items) assessing genomic-related training, knowledge, and practice.
SETTINGS: An email invitation included a link to the anonymous online survey.
PARTICIPANTS: All ISONG members (n = 350 globally) were invited to partake.
METHODS: Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for between-group comparisons.
RESULTS: Respondents (n = 231, 66%), were mostly Caucasian, female, with a master's degree or higher. Approximately 70% wanted to incorporate genomics in research, teaching, and practice. More than half reported high genomic competency, and over 95% reported that genomics is relevant the next 5 years.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings provide a foundation for developing additional educational programs for an international nursing workforce in genomics.
