    A clinical nurse specialist (CNS) program successfully trained staff nurses in genetics, enhancing their knowledge and improving patient care for genetic conditions. This model can be replicated in other specialty areas.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Genetics Nursing
    • Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) Practice

    Background:

    • There is a need to enhance the knowledge and skills of staff nurses in genetic conditions.
    • Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) can play a key role in developing specialized nursing expertise.
    • Resource nurses are vital for improving patient identification and services for genetic conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate a CNS program designed to develop staff resource nurses in genetics.
    • To equip staff nurses with essential knowledge and skills for identifying and managing clients with genetic conditions.
    • To improve the quality of care for patients with genetic disorders through enhanced nursing expertise.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive program involving a 2-day workshop, a 3-month preceptorship, and ongoing education meetings.

  • Twenty-eight staff nurses participated in the program.
  • Pre- and post-workshop assessments were used to measure knowledge gain.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant increases in nurses' knowledge of genetic concepts and resources were observed post-workshop.
    • Resource nurses demonstrated increased interventions with genetic clients at 3 and 6 months post-program.
    • Referrals of genetic clients from staff nurses to CNSs also increased at 3 and 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • The CNS-led program effectively improved nurses' genetic knowledge and skills.
    • The program led to enhanced identification and management of clients with genetic conditions.
    • This model provides a framework for CNSs to develop specialized nursing programs in various settings.
