Web-Based Assessment of Genomic Knowledge Among Practicing Nurses: A Validation Study
Background:
Understanding foundational concepts of genetics and genomics is essential to contemporary nursing practice. The Genomic Nursing Concept Inventory (GNCI) is a research-based measure designed to assess nurses' knowledge of key genetic concepts. Developed and tested among nursing students, the GNCI needs to be validated with practicing nurses. A valid assessment of genetic-genomic knowledge among nurses is vital to support competency-based continuing education.
Method:
This study explored the feasibility of employing a Web-based version of the GNCI and tested its psychometric performance among a purposive sample of practicing nurses.
Results:
The psychometric features of the GNCI are described in terms of scale, subscale, and concept difficulty and internal consistency reliability; these values were in an acceptable range.
Conclusion:
This study represents a successful early step in testing the feasibility of using a Web-based version of the GNCI and validating the GNCI to measure genetic-genomic knowledge among practicing nurses.
