Health Service Delivery Outcomes From Nursing in Genomics: A Scoping Review of the Literature (2012-2025).

AIM: This study aimed to summarize the current state of the science for "health service delivery-oriented outcomes" from nursing in genomics (2012-2025). BACKGROUND: Nurses can play a vital role in increasing access to genomic healthcare and improving outcomes for patients, families, and communities. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review of the literature in four databases (2012-2025). Articles were categorized using the Cochrane Collaboration outcome domains and sub-domains to identify salient topics and synthesize findings. RESULTS: Of 11,646 retrieved articles, 66 publications reporting "health service delivery-oriented outcomes" were included for analysis. Identified articles spanned three sub-domains: "service delivery level," "related to research," and "societal or governmental." Within sub-domains, articles were further categorized into dimensions, the most prominent being "service utilization" under the "service delivery level" sub-domain. Studies were primarily from anglophone countries and near-evenly split into interventional and noninterventional studies. Studies reported that nurses working in multidisciplinary and/or interprofessional teams are a cost-effective means to increase access to genomic healthcare and reduce burden on genetic specialists. Nurses are incorporating genomics in various settings, including oncology, pharmacogenomics, genetic counseling, rare genetic diseases, and symptom science. CONCLUSION: Despite evidence of nurses contributing to health system delivery-oriented outcomes, evidence suggests that nurses are underutilized and underprepared in genomic healthcare. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: A significant barrier to integrating genomics into nursing practice is a lack of foundational knowledge and genomic competency across nursing education, clinical practice, and nursing policymakers. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: Nursing leadership spanning education, research, practice, and policy domains will be critical for integrating genomics in nursing practice and improving health system delivery-oriented outcomes.

Nurses and nutraceuticals. Knowledge and use.

Increasing use of herbal products by the American public should prompt nurses to routinely address herbal use during patient interactions. However, whether nurses possess the knowledge required to discuss risks and benefits of herbal use with patients is unknown. This study was undertaken to investigate registered nurses' knowledge about and use of five common herbal products: ginkgo, St. John's wort, ginseng, garlic, and echinacea. One hundred forty-nine (30%) of 500 randomly selected nurses responded to a mailed questionnaire addressing the frequency of use, purpose, side effects, and interactions of the above products. Most respondents had neither used nor suggested use of the products. Respondents were relatively unfamiliar with product characteristics, although somewhat more familiar with purpose than with side effects or interactions. No knowledge differences were identified according to practice area or number of years in practice, but differences were noted according to educational level and use of specific products.

Know the benefits and risks of using common herbal therapies.

Although Americans are increasingly using herbal products for a variety of health conditions, they may not be aware of the demonstrated risks and benefits of these products. This study found public knowledge of 5 commonly used herbal products to be quite low, even among users of the investigated herbs.
