CONFERENCE--GENETIC NURSING RESEARCH, ADVANCING SCIENCE

爱荷华大学护理学院和中西部护理研究学会(MNRS)计划于2000年10月13日至15日在爱荷华市护理学院举行为期两天半的会议“中西部遗传护理研究：通过合作推进科学”。为期两天半的会议的具体目标是：1)介绍影响人类健康和护理实践的基因发现和相关伦理、法律和社会问题的科学信息的现状；2)创建中西部遗传学护理研究小组，以促进多地点研究倡议；3)确定需要进行研究、培训和合作的领域，特别关注将少数群体纳入遗传护理研究；以及基因技术和信息对个人、家庭和社区的影响；以及4)制定协作战略，以计划、实施、传播和维护中西部护理研究人员的多地点遗传学护理研究。中西部护理研究人员、教育工作者和临床医生将被邀请参加会议的头一天半，听取关于基因发现和护理研究的科学状况的陈述。主题包括基因护理研究的模型、影响人类对健康和疾病反应的基因发现、与基因发现轨迹有关的伦理、法律和社会问题，以及在MNRS中发展一个遗传学特别兴趣小组，该小组将为持续讨论基因护理研究活动提供一个论坛。在第二天的下午和第三次会议的上午，一个较小的工作组将制定中西部遗传护理研究协作组的结构。这个工作组将由12名对基因护理感兴趣的护士研究人员组成。会议的研究合作部分将涵盖的主题包括基因护理研究内容，与招募少数族裔有关的问题，以及合作战略。

The University of Iowa College of Nursing and the Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) propose to hold a 2 1/2 day conference "Midwest Genetic Nursing Research: Advancing Science Through Collaboration" to be held from Oct. 13-15, 2000, at the College of Nursing in Iowa City, IA. The specific goals of the 2 1/2 day conference are to: 1) present state of the science information in genetic discoveries and the related ethical, legal, and social issues impacting human health and nursing practice, 2) create a Midwest Genetics Nursing Research Group which would facilitate multi-site research initiatives; 3) identify areas of need for research, training, and collaboration with specific attention to inclusion of minorities in genetic nursing research; and the impact of genetic technologies and information on individuals, families, and communities; and 4) develop collaborative strategies to plan, conduct, disseminate, and maintain multi-site genetics nursing research by nurse researchers in the Midwest. Midwestern nurse researchers, educators, and clinicians will be invited to attend the first 1 1/2 days of the conference to hear the presentations on the state of the science in genetic discovery and nursing research. Topics to be covered include models for genetic nursing research, genetic discoveries affecting human responses to health and illness, ethical, legal and social issues related to the trajectory of gene discovery, and the development of a genetics special interest group in MNRS that will provide a forum for ongoing discussion of genetic nursing research activities. During the afternoon of the second day and morning of the third conference day, a smaller working group will develop the structure for a Midwest Genetic Nursing Research Collaborative. This working group will consist of 12 nurse researchers with an interest in genetic nursing. Topics to be covered in the Research Collaborative portion of the conference include genetic nursing research content, issues related to recruitment of minorities, and collaborative strategies.
