Abstract

Background: Because of the importance of genetics and genomics for health care, efforts to promote inclusion of genetics and genomics in undergraduate nursing programs has increased in the past 20 years. However, the success of these efforts has not been measured recently.

Method: Information from Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited 4-year baccalaureate nursing programs in the United States was searched, and program administrators were surveyed regarding inclusion of genetics and genomics in program requirements.

Results: More than half (57%) of 711 programs analyzed included genetics and genomics in their curriculum, with <6% of programs requiring a standalone course. Although 43% of programs did not mention genetics and genomics in their curriculum, some programs that did not specifically identify genetics and genomics in course descriptions may incorporate these topics.

Conclusion: Despite the growing importance of genetics and genomics in health care, many prelicensure baccalaureate nursing programs include little instruction on these topics. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(9):613-618.].

将遗传学和基因组学纳入美国护理学士学位课程。

背景：由于遗传学和基因组学对医疗保健的重要性，在过去 20 年中，促进将遗传学和基因组学纳入本科护理课程的努力不断增加。然而，最近尚未对这些努力的成功与否进行衡量：方法：搜索了美国大学护理教育委员会（Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education）认可的四年制本科护理课程的信息，并就将遗传学和基因组学纳入课程要求的情况对课程管理人员进行了调查：结果：在所分析的 711 个项目中，超过一半（57%）的项目将遗传学和基因组学纳入了课程，结论是：尽管遗传学和基因组学的重要性与日俱增，但其在护理专业中的地位仍不容忽视：尽管遗传学和基因组学在医疗保健中的重要性与日俱增，但许多学士学位护理预科课程却很少包含有关这些主题的教学内容。[J Nurs Educ.
