“…The Centre has created a Publications Section on their website, with key reference publications information for nurses, midwives, and health visitors. In the USA, genetics nurse leaders also have created a web‐based institute for a nursing audience, thereby promoting genetics nursing education and communication among nurses nationwide (Prows et al ., 2004).…”

In some areas of health care, genomics is having a steadily increasing impact on clinical practice. Yet, in other areas, genomic developments are considered to be at the periphery of care. Health-care professionals from such areas might feel that the potential of genomics is exaggerated. To explore this issue, genetic nurse specialists were invited to submit case studies and to identify barriers and facilitators in incorporating genomics into mainstream nursing practice. Twenty-five cases were submitted and a total of 10 barriers and seven facilitators were identified. These cases were presented as a basis for debate in a session conducted at the 2006 Annual Conference of the International Society of Nurses in Genetics. The majority of delegates agreed that genomics would have a profound effect on health care and nursing within the next 5 years, particularly in oncology. That nurses do not see genomics as being relevant to their practice was identified as the greatest barrier, by a narrow majority. Specialist nurses in any field have a role in acting as agents of change, educators, and consultants to non-specialists. It is clear that genetics nurse specialists still have a considerable challenge in raising awareness about the relevance of genomics to mainstream nursing practice.

“…In this environment, individuals can also be contacted using e-mail, discussion rooms, and newsgroups. WBL has effective principles to develop different learning methods such as student-centered, problem-based, group-based, and cooperative learnings (Huang, 2002;Joliffe, Jonathan, & David, 2001;Prows et al, 2004) and supports lifelong independent learning (Crawford, 2011). There are many benefits of using WBL in executive training programs.…”

In this study, the effects of problem-based learning and web-based learning on school administrators' decision-making styles and competencies were investigated. The mixed-method was performed in the study. In the qualitative dimension, a semi-structured interview technique was used. The quantitative dimension was conducted experimentally and Melbourne Decisionmaking Questionnaire II was used to collect data. The participants were determined by purposive sampling method. One experimental and one control group were identified in the study and 31 participants were included in each group. Findings indicated that the school administrator training program, in which web-based learning and problem-based learning are used together, had a significantly positive effect on the participants' decision-making styles. In addition, the training program also increased the decision-making competencies of the school administrators such as compromise with others, evaluation of the result of decisions, control and choice of decision, creative problem-solving, being consistent in decisions, effective and correct decisionmaking, and providing credibility in decision-making. At the end of the study, some suggestions were made to the researchers and educators.

“…Most of the nurses highlighted have gone through this program or similar ones such as the 18-week Web-Based Genetics Institute, which used the SGI as a template for development, education, and research efforts. [67] Nurses are already using the tools from this program and others in biobehavorial research, to describe epigenetic trends, and identify applications in the clinical setting for continued research. A table of epigenetic resources is provided (Table 1) with various online websites to aid the practicing nurse and nurse researcher in epigenetic tools, education modalities, and current research/practice trends.…”

Synopsis Science has evolved since the inception of the Human Genome Project to demonstrate that disease and health conditions evolve from a genetic/genomic element influenced by a multitude of factors (lifestyle, environment, etc.). Epigenetic changes to the genome are biochemical alterations to the DNA that do not change an individuals genome but do change and influence gene expression. As all nurses are trained in the biological sciences the profession is prepared to conduct and integrate epigenetic-focused nursing research into practice. The purpose of this paper is to (a) discuss current epigenetic nursing research; (b) provide an overview of how epigenetic research relates to nursing practice; (c) list recommendations; and (d) provide epigenetic online resources for nursing research. An overview of major epigenetic studies in nursing (specific to childbirth studies, preeclampsia, metabolic syndrome, immunotherapy cancer, and pain) will be provided as with recommendations on next steps.
