Abstract
Current trends in gene therapy affect nursing practice and research. As treatments with gene therapy progress, nurses are required to have advanced knowledge and techniques to provide nursing care for patients who undergo gene therapy. The challenges for nurses are adherence to ethical and regulatory guidelines, detailed knowledge of gene transfer and safety issues in the use of viral vectors, the ability to monitor unspecified symptoms, and the provision of non-standardized care for patients. In this article, the authors discussimplications for specialized nursing related to the use of virus vectors in gene therapy, with a focus on peripheral arterial disease.
