Thesis (Ph.D.)--George Mason University, 1999.

The application of scientific research discoveries within the health care environment has implications for nurses in all settings that are involved in consumer education and coordination of services. One such example of an area where patients are beginning to seek out more information is genetics (Adato & Eccles, 1995). The skills and knowledge required by the nurse must evolve rapidly as the science and technology of genetics provides greater insight into the understanding of health and disease (Doukas, 1993). The challenge will be to prepare the profession of nursing for the implications of knowledge that integrates genetic technology into available diagnostic, prevention, and intervention options. This new knowledge can be recognized as an innovation for health care. Getting a new idea adopted, even when it appears to have advantages is difficult. The introduction of the individual to knowledge about the new innovation is the first step within the innovation diffusion process (Rogers, 1995a) and the focus of this research study.

520 $a The application of scientific research discoveries within the health care environment has implications for nurses in all settings that are involved in consumer education and coordination of services. One such example of an area where patients are beginning to seek out more information is genetics (Adato & Eccles, 1995). The skills and knowledge required by the nurse must evolve rapidly as the science and technology of genetics provides greater insight into the understanding of health and disease (Doukas, 1993). The challenge will be to prepare the profession of nursing for the implications of knowledge that integrates genetic technology into available diagnostic, prevention, and intervention options. This new knowledge can be recognized as an innovation for health care. Getting a new idea adopted, even when it appears to have advantages is difficult. The introduction of the individual to knowledge about the new innovation is the first step within the innovation diffusion process (Rogers, 1995a) and the focus of this research study.
520 $a This study sought to test select elements of Roger's theory of diffusion of innovation by assessing the preferences of nurses regarding content to be included in genetics education. The response rate was 49.2%. Priorities for content were similarly identified by both nurses with genetic expertise and those who were potential consumers of genetics education programs.
520 $a No significant effect was found for any of the measured variables. Three percent of nurses studied were found to be innovative which may influence the ability of nursing to stimulate adoption of this innovation in education and practice. Perceptions of potential consequences of genetics education were identified. The majority of nurses who responded to this study were already persuaded of the importance of genetics education. Educational preparation is a beginning step in assuring that all nurses will be able to translate new genetic knowledge and skills into deliberations about health care decisions (Monsen, 1992).
