“…Studies include both quantitative and qualitative data. Combining the results of these studies, we found that oncology nurses have moderate or even poor genetic and genomic knowledge 11–13. For example, Seven showed that ‘Turkish oncology nurses have a moderate level of knowledge in cancer genetics’,11 and Wright showed that ‘most participants reported their genomic knowledge as poor or average’ 13.…”

To the best of our knowledge, one study has compared the differences in genomic knowledge among obstetric, internal and paediatric nurses, 6 but no studies have addressed how this competency varies among oncology and general nurses.…”

ObjectivesTo explore genetic/genomic nursing competency and associated factors among nurses from tertiary general and specialist cancer hospitals in mainland China and compare the competencies of nurses from the two types of hospitals.Design and settingA cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020, wherein 2118 nurses were recruited from 8 tertiary general hospitals and 4 cancer hospitals in mainland China. We distributed electronic questionnaires to collect data on nurses’ demographics, work-related variables and genomic nursing competency.Participants2118 nurses were recruited via a three-stage stratified cluster sampling method.ResultsMore than half (59.1%, 1252/2118) of the participants reported that their curriculum included genetics/genomics content. The mean nurses’ genomic knowledge score was 8.30/12 (95% CI=8.21 to 8.39). Only 5.4% had always collected a complete family history in the past 3 months. Compared with general hospital nurses, slightly more cancer hospital nurses (75.6% vs 70.6%, p=0.010) recognised the importance of genomics, while there was no significant difference in the knowledge scores (8.38 vs 8.21, p>0.05). Gender (β=0.06, p=0.005), years of clinical nursing (β=−0.07, p=0.002), initial level of nursing education (β=0.10, p<0.001), membership of the Chinese Nursing Association (β=0.06, p=0.004), whether their curriculum included genetics/genomics content (β=0.08, p=0.001) and attitude towards becoming more educated in genetics/genomics (β=0.25, p<0.001) were significantly associated with the nurses’ genomic knowledge score.ConclusionThe levels of genomic knowledge among mainland Chinese nurses in tertiary hospitals were moderate. The overall genomic competency of cancer hospital nurses was comparable to that of general hospital nurses. Further genomic training is needed for nurses in China to increase their genomic competency and accelerate the integration of genomics into nursing practice.

A Scoping Review: Do instruments measuring genomic competence in nursing incorporate ethics?

The study of genomics, that is, the study of the entire human genome, has developed rapidly, and the obtained data are increasingly used in health promotion, prevention and treatment of diseases (World Health Organization [WHO], 2022). As nurses work daily with patients, they play a vital role in implementation of genome-based information and achievement of the goals of genomics to improve health outcomes of the patients (Calzone, Kirk, et al., 2018a; Whitley et al., 2020). To accomplish these goals, nurses need to acquire new competences. Nurses are required to have skills in collecting information about families' medical history, identifying individuals at risk for diseases and genomic factors underlying drug reactions, helping people to understand informed consent, interpretating genomic test results and carrying out individual interventions using genomic data (Calzone et al., 2010). These skills with acquired knowledge combine
