A multidisciplinary perspective on advancing genomic nursing in Portugal: roles, barriers and system-level solutions.
Article in Journal of community genetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The rapid expansion of genomic science has reshaped healthcare delivery, creating new demands for interdisciplinary collaboration and highlighting the need to integrate genomics into nursing practice and education. This qualitative study explored how multidisciplinary genomic specialists, including medical geneticists, genetic counsellors and nurses, conceptualize nurses’ roles in genomic healthcare and the conditions required for effective integration in Portugal. Two online focus groups (n = 10) were conducted and the data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis, following Braun and Clarke’s framework. Through an iterative and interpretive process, three themes capturing patterns of shared meaning were developed: the role of nurses in genomic teams, barriers to integrating genomics in nursing education and practice, and systemic and organizational solutions for genomic integration. Participants viewed nurses as pivotal to ensuring continuity, coordination and person- and family-centered care within genomic pathways. However, integration remains constrained by limited genomic literacy, fragmented educational provision, lack of regulatory recognition and insufficient institutional support. Participants highlighted the need for structured and longitudinal genomic education across undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development levels, supported by clear role delineation, clinical supervision and professional recognition. They also emphasized advocacy and policy alignment as essential to building the infrastructure required for sustainable genomic nursing practice. Advancing nursing genomics in Portugal will require coordinated educational, organizational and regulatory reform, with nurses positioned as key contributors to equitable and person-centered genomic care.
