International Nursing Organizations I01:23

International Nursing Organizations I

2.2K
International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Current Trends in Nursing II

2.0K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics: Overview

263
Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics examine how genetic factors influence an individual's response to drugs. While pharmacogenetics focuses on the impact of specific genetic variants on drug effects, pharmacogenomics takes a broader approach, studying how genetic variation across populations contributes to differences in drug responses. These fields aim to explain why individuals may experience varying levels of efficacy or adverse reactions to the same medication.Variability in drug...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

129
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Genetic Variation01:25

Genetic Variation

1.7K
Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Genetics Education

Background:

  • Genetics knowledge is crucial in nursing but often perceived as having limited relevance.
  • Previous studies indicate a gap in nurses' understanding and application of genetic principles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current genetic knowledge and perceived relevance among Italian nurses.
  • To compare these findings with a 2011 survey to identify trends.
  • To evaluate nurses' interest in further genetics education.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires.
  • 504 Italian nurses completed the survey, providing data on their genetics knowledge and perceived relevance.
  • Data was analyzed and compared with historical data from 2011.

Main Results:

  • A significant improvement in genetics knowledge was observed, with 78.9% correctly answering questions compared to 60.5% in 2011.
  • Perceived relevance of genetics to nursing remained low (26.9%), with minimal change since 2011.
  • Despite low perceived relevance, a substantial interest in further genetics education was reported (30.6% strong interest, 56.1% indicated interest).

Conclusions:

  • While genetics knowledge among Italian nurses has increased, it is insufficient for confident integration into practice.
  • There is a clear need for targeted genetic education programs to enhance nurses' skills and confidence.
  • Addressing the perceived relevance of genetics is essential for its effective application in nursing care.
