“…Nurses, specializing in genetics, use diversity focused standards to foster an appreciation of the societal implications of genomic technologies on health disparities (Kerber & Ledbetter, 2017). In addition to changing the curriculum, many DEIJ focused medical centers have started actively engaging various communities and stakeholders into academic medicine (Nivet et al, 2016).…”

“…For example, nurses have identified clinical and culturally sensitive interventions to treat patients as individuals, counteracting previous patient‐provider biased interactions (Bonham & Knerr, 2008). Nurses, specializing in genetics, use diversity focused standards to foster an appreciation of the societal implications of genomic technologies on health disparities (Kerber & Ledbetter, 2017). In addition to changing the curriculum, many DEIJ focused medical centers have started actively engaging various communities and stakeholders into academic medicine (Nivet et al., 2016).…”

Multiple genetic organizations currently prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) efforts. The DEIJ acronym referring to the four pillars, along with cultural competency, also has various other acronyms, such as justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (J.E.D.I) or diversity, inclusion, cultural competency, and equity (DICE). These acronyms demonstrate the evolving nature and terminology of this focus. Some of the current disparities in our profession are exhibited by the lack of underrepresented populations in genetic counseling training programs and in the general healthcare profession. The combination of underrepresented populations in genetic counseling training programs and in the general healthcare profession combined with the history of research without participant consent

AimTo learn from two jurisdictions with mature genomics‐informed nursing policy infrastructure—the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK)—to inform policy development for genomics‐informed oncology nursing practice and education in Canada.DesignComparative document and policy analysis drawing on the 3i + E framework.MethodsWe drew on the principles of a rapid review and identified academic literature, grey literature and nursing policy documents through a systematic search of two databases, a website search of national genomics nursing and oncology nursing organizations in the US and UK, and recommendations from subject matter experts on an international advisory committee. A total of 94 documents informed our analysis.ResultsWe found several types of policy documents guiding genomics‐informed nursing practice and education in the US and UK. These included position statements, policy advocacy briefs, competencies, scope and standards of practice and education and curriculum frameworks. Examples of drivers that influenced policy development included nurses' values in aligning with evidence and meeting public expectations, strong nurse leaders, policy networks and shifting healthcare and policy landscapes.ConclusionOur analysis of nursing policy infrastructure in the US and UK provides a framework to guide policy recommendations to accelerate the integration of genomics into Canadian oncology nursing practice and education.Implications for the professionFindings can assist Canadian oncology nurses in developing nursing policy infrastructure that supports full participation in safe and equitable genomics‐informed oncology nursing practice and education within an interprofessional context.ImpactThis study informs Canadian policy development for genomics‐informed oncology nursing education and practice. The experiences of other countries demonstrate that change is incremental, and investment from strong advocates and collaborators can accelerate the integration of genomics into nursing. Though this research focuses on oncology nursing, it may also inform other nursing practice contexts influenced by genomics.
