本文报道了英国和日本的专家遗传护理的发展。1970年至1990年,基因检测技术取得了重大进展。这些进展为许多受遗传条件影响的家庭提供了更多的诊断,预测和产前检测选择。人们认识到,基因检测可大大改变家庭生活,需要在进行这种检测的同时提供支助性保健服务。护士开始在这种情况下提供专业服务,但需要相当大的专业发展,以确保从业人员有能力。在英国,这一职业在几十年里缓慢发展。在这一新的专业背景下,对建立最低实践标准的关注最终导致建立了一套能力和正式的登记程序。相比之下,在日本,遗传护理的发展发生在较短的时间内,但最低标准的能力已经商定。
This paper reports the development of specialist genetic nursing in the UK and Japan. Between 1970 and 1990, significant technical advances in genetic testing occurred. These advances offered many families affected by genetic conditions more choices in diagnostic, predictive, and prenatal testing. It was recognized that genetic testing could significantly alter the life of the family and that supportive health services were required to accompany such testing. Nurses began to offer specialist services in this setting, but considerable professional development was required to ensure practitioners were competent. In the UK, the profession grew slowly over several decades. Concern to establish minimum standards of practice in this new professional setting culminated in the establishment of a set of competencies and a formal registration process. By comparison, in Japan, developments in genetic nursing have occurred over a shorter period of time, but minimum standards of competence already have been agreed upon.
