Poster Presentation

Students this project will allow you to formulate and hypothetically develop your own research project. The purpose of this project is for the student to follow all of the different steps in a research project on an already published article and presented as a poster presentation. A poster session or poster presentation is the presentation of research information by an individual or representatives of research teams at a congress or conference with an academic or professional focus. The work is usually peer reviewed. Poster sessions are particularly prominent at scientific conferences such as medical congresses. 

Students will select the same article from week 7 and create a poster presentation that include the below information: I upload a template for the poster

The outline of the poster should include the following tabs (minimum requirements)

Abstract Outline: 

-Title of Project

-Problem Statement: what is the problem that needs fixing?

-Purpose of the Project

-Research Question(s)

-Hypothesis

-Methodology (Qualitative vs. Quantitative)

-Steps in implementing your project

-Limitations

Results (Pretend results)

-Conclusion

-References

I have attached an example of a poster presentation for guidance.

Research children’s health issues, focusing on environmental factors and links to poverty.  The assessment of environmental processes includes agents and factors that predispose communities and populations to injury, illness, and death. What correlations did your research show between environmental and health issues in the school-aged child? Make sure to include references to the article(s) you consulted.

Please, answer to this discussion in one paragraph, post required one reference from peer-reviewed Nursing journal (from Database) not the internet not older than 5 years. APA format required.    

There are various cultural groups and sub-groups in the United States that should be taken into consideration when interacting with a patient. According to Collins (2015) values, beliefs, and traditions of the specific cultures must be thoroughly evaluated through a cultural assessment in order to provide the best care possible for a patient. Three of the cultural groups in particular are: African Americans, American Indians, and Hispanics. The cultural variation in these groups becomes obvious when looking at educational, and economic factors, as well as illnesses that are more prevalent in certain groups (Jensen, 2015). African Americans have high poverty and unemployment rates, many are uninsured, and they also tend to have low immunization rates (Jensen, 2015). They are more likely to develop certain types of cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure, whereas, many American Indians tend to be obese and suffer from diabetes, and high blood pressure. Hispanics, on the other hand, are the biggest minority group, and are more likely to have diabetes, end-stage renal disease, or cancer. The older Hispanic generation tends to decline the flu shot, and they are more likely to have heart disease. Overall, the three groups share some common advantages, but there can also be disease which they are all more likely to get, 

I believe that it is important for healthcare professionals to ensure the use of a small alpha value such as 0.01 or 99% confidence level. This means that we are giving a very small window of error. In surgical operations, the confidence interval should be reduced to even as low as 0.1. This is because we are dealing with life. When determining the effectiveness of a given drug, an alpha value of 0.01 or 0.05 should be considered.

Comment 1 

As a passionate psychiatry nurse, I picked my executive summary to be a suicide prevention program. Deaths by suicide have risen across the United States as reported by the Center for Disease Control in 2017. Suicide deaths are considered a crisis in the Mental Health profession. Suicide is not biased. It affects Caucasians, Africa-Americans, Indian, etc. It also affects the young, middle age, and elderly.  According to the CDC, over 45,000 reported suicides occurred in 2016 in the United States. Suicide was ranked the tenth
leading cause of death. 

There needs to be more programs for suicide prevention that is readily available and ready to help. The State of Alabama has a suicide hotline and several programs but they are in the big cities and that is not feasible for people who live an hour or two away. There needs to be more help all people who suffer mental illnesses.

Comment 2

I would like to describe differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to issues in practice when discussing nurse-staffing ratios. This is a big issue in the country because aside from California, legally mandated nurse-staffing ratios do not exist. When it is discussed in the hospital now, nursing supervisors discourage it by telling nurses that it is not all it’s cracked up to be. Some hospitals can go under due to the need to staff appropriately. When talking to a nurse who has worked under both situations, she has said that the cost of healthcare ends up declining in a good way because nurses are making less overworked mistakes and patient-satisfaction is up. This can be the big difference between managers and leaders in the big picture of things. Managers will listen to nursing complaints of being overworked beyond safe circumstances and the manager will simply say, “this is what you signed up for when you became a nurse,” like we’re soldiers complaining about being shot at when we chose to be a soldier. We signed up for nursing to care for patients and participate in the optimization of their help. Leaders will listen to nursing complaints and ask themselves what can they do to help. At the end of the day, if more people were leaders, nursing shortages may not exist. Nurses would be happier and stay in their positions longer.
