*Be specific about your target group in your project: actual age/s, gender/s, location Prepare a detailed and innovative health promotion project plan for your chosen target group and health issue in an Australian community (Indigenous or non-Indigenous). This needs to be your innovative idea, not reused from a current or past health promotion project.  Make sure you follow the outlined 8 assessment criteria. The health promotion project plan should be in the form of one of the following:

• Education on risk factor awareness and/or prevention
• Health management (such as how to manage hypertension to prevent stroke)

Your health promotion plan should address the following criteria:

1. A description of your specific target group and community (for example Children (5-11years) not meeting physical activity recommendations in Palmerston Primary School or adult males (indigenous and/or non-indigenous) who are obese aged 50 years or above in Bendigo, nursing students at CDU). This contributes to making your health promotion innovative and focussed.
2. A detailed outline of why this public health promotion is beneficial for your target group. For example how you anticipate it will improve health outcomes for the chosen target group/community. Include health data/statistics to back up this as a health concern, such as burden of disease.
3. A description of what your goals/ aims for your health promotion are and what the health promotion project is aiming to achieve (review the SMART mnemonic on page 215 of the set text Fleming & Parker, 2015 Introduction to Public Health, 3E).
4. You should identify which of the Public Health Promotion Management Perspectives this falls into and briefly outline why it falls into this category (Public Health Promotion Management Perspectives are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary- to find out more about this refer to page 316 of the set text Fleming & Parker, 2015 Introduction to Public Health, 3E)
5. Identify who the additional stakeholders will be for the project, and what community consultation will take place. Include specific information on who this health promotion project will need to include and why.
6. Present a specific and original health message/ logo that you have developed to suit your health promotion (for example: Your smoking harms others or If you can play you can play).  Make sure this would be appropriate for your target group.
7. Provide a detailed outline of what the health promotion activity will entail and how you will promote this to the target group. Look at other health promotion activities for ideas such as the Breast Cancer Mother’s Day Classic Fun Run or the posters you see around the community.  Consider what sort of resources will work to get the message out to your target group such as newspapers, sports event, school visit, radio- what will work for your target audience)
8. An outline of how you plan to evaluate the success of your health promotion.  Evaluation is an important step, research to find the best way to assess if your health promotion would be successful in achieving its aims/goals.

Nurs 363 : Evidence Based Practice Poster 

and Presentation.  

Objective:  To help nursing students become accustomed to searching the literature for evidence that supports nursing practice, and to polish poster creation and presentation skills. 

Task:  You are an experienced nurse who just signed a contract for a staff position at Passaway General Hospital.  On your first month at work, you notice a few questionable nursing practices that you learned to do differently at your previous place of employment.  As a BSN-prepared nurse, your unit manager has asked you to review the best evidence on the topic and create an A/V poster presentation for your colleagues on the unit.   He has asked you record your presentation so both night and day shifts can view it at their convenience.

Issues:  The following is a list of your priority areas.  You must choose one to focus on right now.

IV Insertion

Use of Bariatric beds

Nursing uniforms for proper identification

Bed pans

Bed baths vs Bath wipes

Proper use of Restraints

Intramuscular injection technique

Wet to dry dressing changes

Fundal massage

Umbilical cord care

Nasogastric tube insertion

Use of Bed Alarms

Transfusion procedures

Prevention of CLABSI

Tracheostomy Care

Plan:  

1. Choose a topic area from the list above.

2.  Review nursing, medical, and evidence-based practice literature related to your topic, following guidelines from the rubric to ensure you obtain information that addresses each section of the rubric.

3.  Critically appraise the evidence you have located using the CASP Tool (refer to textbook) to determine the strength of the studies you base your recommendations upon.

4.  Synthesize information using the grading rubric as a guide.

4.  Create a Professional Poster:  Create a professional scientific poster in MS Power point, to be saved as a computer file (you do not need to have it printed) using a scientific poster template.  Poster templates can be downloaded from many sources.  Here are a few suggestions.

www.makesigns.com

www.posterpresentations.com

www.postersession.com

Read the Article:  How to Create a Professional Poster in PLE resources, as your guide for spacing, text size, headings, and content in your poster.  Poster examples are also located in the resources tab. See article attached.

Please Note:  A good presentation should address each of the areas of the rubric below.  However, your poster should not contain, word for word, everything in the rubric.  There should not be full paragraphs on your poster. Please use bullet points. The purpose of the poster is to highlight and summarize the information.

This week, you are to complete a critical appraisal of one of your “keeper” articles as your discussion posting. Please be sure to include your Instructor-approved PICOT question to start the discussion. 

Rapid Critical Appraisal checklists consisting of a set of simple but important questions. Below are sample questions developed for use with quantitative studies that are applicable to most appraisal situations (it’s important to note that qualitative evidence, if it’s relevant to the clinical question, should not be dismissed):

1. Why was the study done? Make sure the study is directly relevant to the clinical question.
2. What is the sample size? Size can and should vary according to the nature of the study. Since determining a valid minimum sample size in a single study can be difficult, taking into account multiple studies is beneficial.The answer to this question alone should not remove a study from the appraisal process.
3. Are instruments of the variables in the study clearly defined and reliable? Make sure the variables were consistently applied throughout the study and that they measured what the researchers said they were going to measure.
4. How was the data analyzed?Make sure that any statistics are relevant to the clinical question.
5. Were there any unusual events during the study? If the sample size changed, for example, determine whether that has ramifications if you wish to replicate the study.
6. How do the results fit in with previous research in this area? Make sure the study builds on other studies of a similar nature.
7. What are the implications of the research for clinical practice? Ask whether the study addresses a relevant and important clinical issue.

 Assessment#2

Perform hypothesis testing on the differences between two groups and create an Excel document. Write a 2–3-page analysis of the results in a Word document and insert the results into this document. 

 

Preparation

Download the Assessment 2 Dataset [XLSX].

The dataset contains the following variables:

• clinic1 (total number of visits per month for clinic 1).
• clinic2 (total number of visits per month for clinic 2).

 

Instructions

An investor needs to make a decision on whether to acquire one of two medical clinics based on their productivity, as measured by the total number of visits per month. You have been asked whether there is a significance difference in the total number of visits per month between clinic 1 and clinic 2.

For this assessment, perform hypothesis testing on the differences between two groups in the Assessment 2 Dataset. Create an appropriately labeled Excel document with your results. Also write an analysis of the results in a Word document. Insert the test results into this document (copied from the output file and pasted into a Word document). Refer to Copy From Excel to Another Office Program for instructions.
