Syndemics, or co-occurring diseases or epidemics within a specific population, are contextualized by place-preexisting social, economic, and political structures. Nurse practitioners are well-positioned to critically assess the impact of geography on patient health and well-being. This perspective provides a brief summary of syndemic crises, with a case example in the West Virginia coalfields. The position of this paper is one that supports geography, in addition to social determinants of health, as a framework for syndemics. A geographic perspective provides a more comprehensive picture of marginalized populations and regions facing the phenomenon. Given the significance of holistic nursing, attention to the role of geography in syndemics provides an increased dimension of care and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":17179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners","volume":"36 11","pages":"601-606"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142583332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professional advancement models for NPs and PAs were born out of literature on clinical career ladders that date back to the 1970s for the nursing work force. Over time, PAMs have evolved to offer NPs and PAs structured pathways to guide and reward professional growth, education, advocacy, research, and quality improvement (QI). Although the first institutional account of PAM development for NPs and PAs was published in 1998, there has been a recent spike in case reports of PAMs from individual medical centers.

Improving NPs' knowledge of how genes influence health enables them to assess, diagnose, and manage patients in all states of health in a safe, efficient, and competent manner. Nurse practitioners may also care for patients who obtain direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests without provider oversight and share their results; improved knowledge of genetics can provide NPs with the information and resources needed to interpret and understand DTC test results. The literature indicates that NPs have limited understanding of basic genetic concepts and guidelines for prescribing drugs affected by genomic variability. As a result, NPs report low confidence in their ability to accurately interpret and apply genetic test results, which inhibits genomics-informed precision health care. This article provides resources and clinical recommendations for using the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials and the American Nurses Association Essentials of Genomic Nursing to facilitate the integration of genomics into NP curricula and practice.
