| Popis: | Background A growing threat to maternal-fetal health, the most recent and largest outbreak of the Zika virus disease has introduced the devastating fetal effects of microcephaly and other central nervous system deficits. Purpose This brief outlines a history of Zika virus disease, its known effects, best practice recommendations for providers to educate patients, and information for individuals on how to protect themselves. Methods/search strategy A search of the literature using the databases PubMed, UptoDate, and CINAHL was conducted for articles published between 2009 and 2016. Key informant interviews with clinical genetics and public health professionals were conducted. Findings/results The proposed best practice recommendations for education regarding the Zika virus disease and appropriate prevention and treatment methods are outlined. Implications for practice As the Zika virus continues to spread and further research is conducted regarding its teratogenic effects, the need for concise and effective education is critical to raise awareness, decrease the potential for maternal exposure, and reduce fetal risks. Implications for research Therefore, the need for appropriate recognition, treatment, management, and prevention of the Zika virus disease prompts the necessity for further education and high-quality level research to be conducted and utilized. |
