    (2020) Ojo IO; Adejumo PO; Olaogun AA; Oyediran OO
    Standardised nursing language is needed in contemporary nursing practice and education to plan, deliver and communicate the contribution of professional nursing practice to other nurses, health care providers, and health consumers. This study assessed the perception of the nursing students about integrating standardised nursing language (SNL) into the nursing curriculum; nursing students’ awareness of the SNL, differences between the institution of the participants and their perception; as well as differences between the institution of the participants and their level of awareness about SNL. A cross-sectional research design was adopted. The participants were recruited by using the convenience sampling technique. Data were collected via self-structured questionnaires whose validity and reliability had been previously ascertained. The data collected were analysed, using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0. Results showed that the majority of the nursing students that participated in the study were female (86.7%). Also, the majority (74.2%) were aware of SNL. While 58% had a very good perception that SNL is important and should be offered as part of their course system in the institution, only 60.6%, 13.3%, and 11.0% believed it should be offered at undergraduate, postgraduate, and other courses respectively. Further, there was no significant difference in the respondents’ institution and their perception while the respondents and their level of awareness were statistically significant, respectively.

    Introduction Genetic nursing education provides knowledge of traits and inherited diseases. This has not been well integrated into nursing practice in Nigeria. Aim This study evaluated university nursing students’ knowledge of genomic concepts and readiness to practice genomic nursing in Nigeria. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. Three universities were purposively selected in Nigeria. A total of 136 participants were recruited using convenient sampling technique. A modified Genetic Nursing Concept Inventory questionnaire was distributed to participants in their classrooms. Data were analyzed with SPSS (23); descriptive data were presented in tables and figures with their mean and standard deviations. Chi-square test and multivariate analysis were used to ascertain association between variables at p < 0.05 level of significance. Results Findings indicated that participants have poor knowledge (89%) and lack readiness (66%) to practice genomic nursing in Nigeria. Their knowledge influenced their readiness (χ2 = 21.033, df = 1, p = 0.001). Institution type was the most consistent predictor of knowledge (χ2 = 48.586, df = 2, p = 0.001) and readiness (OR = 14.817, p = 0.326, C.I. = 3.190, 319.57) as those in federal institution were more knowledgeable and prepared to practice genetic nursing. Participants perceived that poor funding, lack of trained personnel, and social/environmental factors could affect their readiness to practice genetic nursing. Conclusion The study has brought to the fore that nursing students have low knowledge and were not ready to practice genetic nursing, efforts should be made to look into the adequacy of nursing training on genetic nursing and strategies needed for its integration in education and practice.
