This article presents an argument for research on the practical outcomes of genetics education in professional nursing programs. Nurse educators should aggressively conduct educational outcomes research on the translation of genetics core competencies at all levels of clinical practice. There should be a systematic examination of the factors, that influence graduate nurses' applications of concepts to patient care including type of educational preparation in genetics. The best way to improve health is to understand normal genome biology and its relationship to disease biology. Assuring genetics and genomic literacy among all nurses is a crucial task for contemporary nursing education programs.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 January 2013.
All research outputs
#24,753,303
of 34,360,257 outputs
Outputs from Nursing Clinics of North America
#390
of 570 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#257,706
of 344,178 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nursing Clinics of North America
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,257 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 570 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,178 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
