NCEMNA Research Results Report From: Jean Jenkins, PhD, RN, FAAN Bernice Coleman, PhD, ACNP-BC, FAAN Kathleen Calzone, PhD, RN, APNG, FAAN Thank you for your representation of the Philippine Nurses Association of America, Inc. (PNAA) to the NCEMNA Genomics research protocol development and implementation. Hard to believe we started this project in 2009, completed the pilot, and then collected membership final survey data in 2011! It’s now time to provide you with an update as promised as part of the NCEMNA Project Team member agreement. As noted 1/20/11 in the Proposed Plans PostSurvey analysis: 1. Publications- Plans include an overview article to be developed with all TEAM members included as coauthors listed in alphabetical order. The project team member will solicit and represent wants/needs of their President/Board/members for the major papers and then continue on with coordination of anything additional at the local level. The frequency data has been analyzed for NCEMNA as a total group (attached) and for each organization separately (also attached for your organization). If you want raw data for your organization, that can also be done. Please submit a written request and allow 2 weeks for us to pull the report. Additional correlational analysis is in process and not yet available to share. Once completed, we will summarize the results in a draft paper and provide to you for edits and comments. If you have suggestions for which Journal the overview article should
be submitted to for review and publication consideration, please provide by 1/17/13. 2. As noted 1/20/11 in the Proposed Plans Post-Survey analysis: Each organization will have access to their own data to utilize in developing newsletter articles, individual summary articles, or other publications. Individual organizational data will be sent to each organization's project representative. Then that organization's project team member with President/Board/members can determine what additional papers they want to develop and determine their own authorship order. 3. Also as noted 1/20/11 in the Proposed Plans Post-Survey analysis: Presentations- all TEAM members will be encouraged to present findings of this study. You are requested to share the attached data summaries with your organizational leadership by Feb 1, 2013. Please discuss with your President potential next steps. We will then convene a conference call Feb 7, 2013 to discuss how your organization wishes to move forward. Discussion items include but are not limited to: a) Needs and/or opportunities for genomic education of your membership b) Option to create a newsletter summary for your organization c) Opportunities for additional publications d) Opportunities for presentations about the research results (i.e., annual meetings; abstract due dates) e) Opportunities for funding applications to follow-up on research results We appreciate your continued persistence in getting this study completed. We hope the data is interesting and useful to you and your organization in moving forward to prepare your nurses to integrate genomics into practice, education, and research. We look forward to continued discussions and follow-up in 2013.
