9 Multi Institute Funding National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute National Institute of Nursing Research National Human Genome Research Institute Clinical Center Specific Aims Pilot test a survey instrument assessing attitudes, practices, receptivity, confidence and competency of the nursing workforce integrating genetic and genomics information related to common multi factorial diseases in preparation for a national nursing workforce survey. Determine the feasibility of an online survey method of data collection. Evaluate the degree of respondent burden and survey response rates to establish whether this method of data collection will be adequate for the future evaluations. Specific Aims Conclusion Compare nursing attitudes, practices, receptivity, confidence and competency in integrating genetic and genomic information to family physicians. Majority of respondents had a limited understanding of genetics/genomics Respondents tend to be less innovative Most respondents were unaware of the Essential Competencies Majority felt genetics and genomics was important to nursing practice Conclusion The majority of respondents do not incorporate family history into their practice The instrument was easy to complete and the online methodology was easy to navigate Response rate per question varied widely Hypothesis: Concern about genetic/genomic competency influenced per question response rate Oncology Nurse Internship Project Development and implementation of Genetic Competencies Attended ISONG Meeting Networked with leaders in cancer genetics Utilized essential nursing competencies with outcomes to develop competencies for Clinical Center Nursing Department Will pilot competencies in oncology program of care in 2012 Oncology Nursing Society 37th Annual Congress 73
