Summary
Oncology nurses showed improved knowledge and satisfaction with a new genomic education program. The flipped classroom approach effectively enhanced understanding of genetics and genomics in clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Genomics in Healthcare
- Oncology Nursing
Background:
- Significant gaps exist in nurses' knowledge and application of genomics.
- Genomic advancements require specialized nursing education for effective patient care.
- Oncology nurses need updated skills to integrate genomic information into practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an accessible genomic education program for oncology nurses.
- To address the identified knowledge and application gaps in nursing genomics.
- To improve nurses' competence in utilizing genomic concepts in oncology.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a flipped classroom strategy for genomic education.
- Utilized prework including online modules and journal articles on genetics and genomics.
- Focused in-person class time on practical clinical applications of genomics.
Main Results:
- Learners reported high satisfaction with the flipped classroom educational format.
- The program successfully met its stated course objectives.
- Demonstrated significant improvement in nurses' knowledge of genomic concepts, clinical applications, and available resources.
Conclusions:
- The flipped classroom model is an effective strategy for genomic education in nursing.
- Accessible educational programs can successfully enhance oncology nurses' genomic knowledge and skills.
- Improved genomic literacy among nurses can lead to better integration of genetic information into cancer care.

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

02:30Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
37.1K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.

03:21Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes
9.1K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

02:16Comparing Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Prokaryotic Genomes
15.9K
The present-day mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes have retained some of the characteristics of their ancestral prokaryotes and also have acquired new attributes during their evolution within eukaryotic cells. Like prokaryotic genomes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes neither bind with histone-like proteins nor show complex packaging into chromosome-like structures, as observed in eukaryotes. Unlike mitotic cell divisions observed in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts...
