Nursing CD-Rom on Ethical Issues of Genetic Testing
Institution: University of Iowa
FOA Number: PA-96-042
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop and test a CDROM on ethical aspects of genetic testing for practicing registered nurses and senior level professional nursing students. Comprised of modules on ethics, genetic testing, and case studies on breast cancer and Alzheimer disease, the CDROM will provide for individually paced, interactive learning. Content will be critiqued by members of professional nursing organizations who participate in genetic testing. Knowledge of genetic testing and ability to justify ethical decisions will be evaluated with a pretest-posttest design with a sample of practicing Registered Nurses employed at 2 Iowa hospitals, and senior undergraduate nursing students enrolled in 3 baccalaureate nursing programs in Iowa. Upon successful completion of product development and testing, the CDROM will be prepared for marketing to nursing educators at the collegiate and hospital staff development levels.
