Doctoral nursing students and faculty require better training in genetics and genomics for research. This article proposes a three-part curriculum to enhance genomic competencies in nursing science education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Genetics
- Genomics
Background:
- Genetics and genomics are increasingly important in nursing science research.
- Doctoral nursing students and faculty may lack sufficient preparation in genomic research methods.
- Genetics and genomics are underrepresented in current doctoral nursing curricula.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a comprehensive curriculum for doctoral nursing students focusing on genetics and genomics.
- To address the identified gap in genomic research preparedness within nursing education.
- To provide recommendations for integrating genomic education into PhD programs.
Main Methods:
- Development of a three-part curriculum tailored for doctoral nursing students.
- Focus on genetics, genomics, and their application in nursing science.
- Guidelines for curriculum integration into existing PhD programs.
Main Results:
- A structured, manageable curriculum designed to build genomic competencies.
- Strategies for incorporating genetics and genomics into doctoral nursing education.
- Enhanced preparedness of future nursing researchers in genomic approaches.
Conclusions:
- A targeted curriculum can effectively equip doctoral nursing students with essential genetics and genomics knowledge.
- Integrating genomic education is crucial for advancing nursing science and research.
- Addressing curriculum deficiencies will improve the capacity for genomic research in nursing.
