Nursing faculty readiness for genomics education was assessed to identify training needs. Findings support the necessity of faculty development programs to integrate genomics into nursing curricula.
Area of Science:
- Genomic Medicine
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Genomics is rapidly evolving, creating new expectations for healthcare professionals.
- Nursing faculty play a vital role in educating the future nursing workforce on genomics.
- Current knowledge, receptivity, and interest among nursing faculty regarding genomics were unknown.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the readiness of nursing faculty to adopt genomics into their teaching.
- To identify the need for faculty training in genomics.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a readiness-to-change assessment process.
- Evaluated faculty knowledge, receptivity, and interest in genomics.
Main Results:
- Data indicated a need for faculty training to effectively integrate genomics.
- Faculty readiness varied, highlighting specific areas for development.
Conclusions:
- Substantiated the need for targeted faculty development in genomics.
- Preparedness for genomics education is crucial for advancing nursing practice.
