Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is needless to say that awaress of nurses for genetics is still low,because genetic education of nurses is not enough in progress in Japan.This study is to aim the professional development of nurses towards effective genetic counselling systems for familial tumors, and we surveyed the needs of genetic education of nurses, and carried out planning of genetic education. It is resulted that the younger group had the chance of genetic education at the time of nursing students(p<0.01),and on participatory lectures,the educational effect was 69.2% by using Wilcoxon signed-rank test(p<0.05). It is supposed that continuation of the genetic education is one of the most significance on the effective genetic counselling systems.
