Project 9

Directions

Your poster presentation should include a title slide, a slide that captures the full view of your poster, slides that “zoom in” to the various sections of your poster, a reference slide, and speaker notes to accompany each, as needed. Additionally, you should refrain from using the first person ( “I”) in order to maintain objectivity and professionalism in your presentation.

Note that all the claims in your presentation should be evidence-based. Your citations should be from your independent research (not from the scenario or textbook) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. Many of the criteria below require a specific number of scholarly sources to substantiate each claim; however, these sources are not mutually exclusive. In other words, you can reference the same source to support multiple, different claims in your presentation. You are required to cite a minimum of ten sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support.

To complete your poster presentation, be sure to include the following elements:

Introduction: Begin by introducing your audience to the selected location and health challenge. Specifically, address the following:

Overview: Provide a brief, evidence-based overview, including a description of the geographic region, its socioeconomic and demographic profile, and the prevalent health concerns within the population.

Purpose and Value: Clearly state the goal of this trip, including a general identification of the intervention that will be proposed. Defend the proposed value of this venture by discussing the extent to which this humanitarian aid trip will promote health equity, human rights, and social justice.

Analysis: In this next section of your presentation, analyze the specific determinants of health that drive the population’s health outcomes. Specifically, address the following:

Resource Availability: Evaluate the impact of resource availability (including water, sanitation, food, and air) as a determinant of health for the population. Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Access to Care and Quality of Health Services: Analyze the impacts of access to care and quality of health services on morbidity and mortality for the population. Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Cultural Context: Describe how the specific cultural context influences their perceptions of health and disease. How do these perceptions impact health issues and outcomes for the population? Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Other Determinants: Identify any other environmental, biological, or social determinants of health relevant for the population. Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Evaluation: Building on your analysis, shift your focus to the larger systems and policy landscape. What are the organizational mechanisms that can be leveraged to address the determinants identified in your analysis section? Specifically, address the following:

Policies: Assess the impact of relevant health and nonhealth policies on healthcare access, equity, and social justice. How are the existing policies contributing to negative health outcomes or disparities for the target population? Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Systems: Evaluate the impacts of the healthcare infrastructure and systems on healthcare access, equity, and social justice. How are the existing systems contributing to negative health outcomes or disparities for the target population? Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Recommendations: Synthesize your analysis and evaluation to develop specific, feasible interventions that could be delivered in a humanitarian aid trip. At this stage, you should focus on your strategy and methods rather than your budget, but know that your funding source is limited. The budget details will be worked out at a later stage upon approval of the concept. Be sure to address the following:

Intervention: Explain the nature and requirements of your intervention. What, specifically, do you propose to do and how would you implement your intervention within the context of a humanitarian aid trip? You do not need a line-item budget for the $100,000 grant, but you should include considerations of overall cost. Be sure to address the following aspects:

How does your intervention address the environmental, biological, and sociocultural aspects discussed in your analysis section? Draw specific connections between your research and your proposed intervention.

How does your intervention address the political and systemic aspects discussed in your evaluation section? Draw specific connections between your research and your proposed intervention.

Social Justice: Defend your recommendation in terms of the extent to which your plan applies social justice and human rights principles. Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Strengthen Communities and Reduce Health Disparities: Defend your recommendation in terms of the extent to which your plan will strengthen communities and reduce health disparities for marginalized and vulnerable populations. Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Effectiveness and Sustainability: Defend your recommendation in terms of the evidence that supports the effectiveness and sustainability of your plan for the target population. Provide specific evidence from at least three scholarly sources to support your claims.
