Nursing and Genetic Biobanks

Nursing and Biobanking

“…The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program was launched in 2006, and many centers include a core biobank component as an important piece of the translational research process [ 9 ]. Nurse scientists continue to be actively involved in the development and advancement of CTSA programs, including biobank components, requiring nurse scientists to emphasize collaboration and participation within biobanks and across disciplines within CTSA centers [ 1 ].…”

“…Nurses are at the forefront of the translational research movement, promoting the transfer of basic science discoveries to healthcare applications and clinical practice [ 1 ]. Biobanking has also played an important role in furthering translational research by providing large numbers of readily accessible biospecimens and related clinical data to the research community.…”

Randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of web‐based Genomics Nursing Education Intervention for undergraduate nursing students: a study protocol

“…The World Health Organization (2020) defines genetics as the study of heredity and genomics as a field of science that studies the interrelationships of all genes, their functions and combined influence on the growth and development of the organism. Genetics–genomics is advancing rapidly and remarkably changing the way of providing care to our clients (Bancroft, 2013; Sanner, Yu, Udtha, & Holtzclaw Williams, 2013). Genomics is increasingly becoming the centre of care and is being included in the prevention, screening, diagnostics, prognostics, selection and monitoring of treatment for all individuals (Beery, Workman, & Eggert, 2018; Calzone, Jenkins, Nicol, et al, 2013; Williams et al, 2017; World Health Organization, 2020).…”

“…The conceptual framework of this study (Figure 1) illustrates the integration of three different disciplines: biomedicine sciences, biobank and nursing sciences. The paradigm shift for nursing career development with a “Genomic Nursing Care Approach” is a sensible response to biomedicine and biobank advanced science that is rapidly and remarkably changing the way we provide care to our clients (Kosma et al, 2019; Sanner et al, 2013; World Health Organization, 2020). The conceptual framework of this study is in line with the conceptual model created by Hickey (2018), which illustrates the overlapping sources on which one can build a career as a nurse in the field of genetics–genomics (Figure 2).…”
