Preceptors are essential in the clinical education of prelicensure registered nursing and advanced practice registered nursing students. However, there is a growing scarcity of preceptors available to provide clinical education. Additionally, preceptors have not uniformly received professional development in the practice of teaching that is essential in delivering high quality clinical education, and clinical education in nursing is an unfunded mandate. This article reviews the current state of preceptors, the importance and challenges of preceptors in clinical education, the lack of funding for clinical education by preceptors, and proposed solutions.

Linking epidemiology and genomics of maternal smoking during pregnancy in utero and in ageing: a population-based study using human foetuses and the UK Biobank cohort.

EBioMedicine

February 2025

Institute of Medical Sciences, School of Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK; Institute for Clinical Research and Systems Medicine, Health and Medical University, Potsdam, Germany.

Background: Maternal smoking and foetal exposure to nicotine and other harmful chemicals in utero remains a serious public health issue with little knowledge about the underlying genetics and consequences of maternal smoking in ageing individuals. Here, we investigated the epidemiology and genomic architecture of maternal smoking in a middle-aged population and compare the results to effects observed in the developing foetus.

Methods: In the current project, we included 351,562 participants from the UK Biobank (UKB) and estimated exposure to maternal smoking status during pregnancy through self-reporting from the UKB participants about the mother's smoking status around their birth.
