保健专业人员需要适当的遗传学知识基础来照顾病人及其家属。然而，研究表明，护士和助产士缺乏有效和安全实践所需的遗传学知识，缺乏资源来满足他们的教育需求。本文描述了一项行动研究，旨在为一系列卫生专业的学生和从业人员开发在线遗传学资源。对目前的保健遗传学教育进行了文献综述。在行动周期的第一阶段，对护士和助产士样本进行了问卷调查，以发现他们感知到的学习需求和对电子学习方法的接受程度。利用这些发现，通过生命阶段结构为卫生专业人员开发了一个在线资源，以加快访问速度。讨论了该资源中临床病例研究的发展过程（包括理论、伦理和实践问题）和评估策略。
Health-care professionals need an appropriate genetics knowledge base to care for patients and their families. However, studies have indicated that nurses and midwives lack the requisite genetics knowledge to practice effectively and safely, with a paucity of resources to address their educational needs. This paper describes an action research study aimed at developing an online genetics resource for students and practitioners in a range of health professions. A literature review of current health-care genetics education was undertaken. In the first phase of the action cycle, a sample of nurses and midwives were surveyed using a questionnaire to discover their perceived learning needs and the acceptability of an e-learning approach. Using the findings, an online resource for health professionals was developed, by means of a life stage structure to expedite accessibility. The developmental process leading to the construction of clinical case studies in this resource (including theory, ethical, and practical issues) and the evaluation strategy are discussed.
