PROJECT TITLE: Genomic literacy of Australian registered nurses and midwives: A cross-sectional survey 

Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives are invited to take part in a research project about the genomic literacy. The study is being conducted by Helen Wright and will contribute to the Master of Philosophy (Health) degree in Nursing at James Cook University.

This research aims to explore the genomic literacy of registered nurses and midwives in Australia.  It may subsequently be used to improve the healthcare of individuals and provide direction for the improved uptake of genomics in nursing education and clinical nursing practice.

If you agree to be involved in the study, you will be invited to complete a survey. The survey has two sections. Section 1 will collect demographic information, this includes information such as age and gender, professional history and workforce information. Section 2 will assess your level of understanding of genomic concepts most critical to clinical nursing practice using the Genomic Nursing Concept Inventory (GNCI©).

The survey should only take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
