Instructions
You will prepare a poster, which provides a summary of your quality improvement project. You will present the information from this poster to your student peers in a 5-minute online presentation, followed by a further 5-minutes for questions. The poster and presentation will be compiled from the relevant sections of Assessment 1 and the marking feedback you received.
Follow the steps below to complete your assessment task.
1. POSTER
Using a Microsoft PowerPoint or Publisher template, design a poster that summarises the key elements of your quality improvement project. The poster should include the following information and related concise summary information: Title, Background (context), Aim and Objectives, Research Design, Results and Recommendations. You can include tables to present quantitative data analysis and graphics to present themes from qualitative data analysis.
2. PRESENTATION
Referring to the information provided on your poster, you will present a summary of your quality improvement research project to your student peers. The presentation will be no longer than five minutes in length, with an additional five-minute question time from your lecturer and peers. You must refer to each section of the poster, however you will need to summarise the content further and focus your time on presenting your findings, discussions and implications for professional practice and quality improvement. Do not just read straight from the poster, instead use it to guide your presentation. You may refer to the information on your poster or provide additional information in response to questions posed by your lecturer or peers.
Literature and references
In this assessment use at least three contemporary references (<7 years) in writing your background. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant. Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and credible websites. When sourcing information, consider the 5 elements of a quality reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature sourced from the internet must be from reputable websites such as from government, university, or peak national bodies: for example, the Australian College of Nursing, or the World Health Organization.
Requirements
•Use a conventional and legible size font for headings, subheadings and text. If you include tables or graphics to present data, you must label them appropriately. If you use a background or embedded photo or picture in your poster, this must be published with a Creative Commons (CC) licence and the source attributed as per the requirements of their CC licence. Do NOT use animations or clipart.
• _Write in the third-person perspective, however you may use the first-person perspective for the verbal components of your presentation.
Use formal academic language.
_You must include in-text citations, and a reference list, however both can be included in small font to reduce visual impact.
• Use the seventh edition American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style.
Resources
• _You can use any credible sources (e.g., journal articles, books, grey literature) to reference your argument. The quality and credibility of your sources are important.
