SNPG917 Evidence into Practice
Autumn 2017
Assessment Task 2
Assessment 2 Individual Presentation
Task Description Choose a specific person-centred health care topic that interests you. Consider the topic carefully to ensure that you use the topic for Assessment Task 3.
Once you have chosen a person-centred health care topic, address the significance of the topic and develop a question to be able to find evidence through literature review.
(e.g. Person-centred health care challenge: “In spite of health professionals’ support many women stop breastfeeding in first few weeks after birth.
Topic: Breastfeeding cessation. The question is: “what are the reasons women give to stop breastfeeding?”)
This assessment task requires you to construct a presentation that covers the following points:
• Introduction - present a brief description / summary of the significance of the topic
• Question – describe the question that you have formulated to find any related evidence
• Search strategy – present the literature search and retrieval strategies to answer the formulated question. This part should include: criteria for considering studies, list of databases, keywords and synonyms, limitations and a list of articles that have been chosen.
• Critical review of evidence – Choose one article and critically review it (you can use critical review table provided in the Moodle site).
• Conclusion – identify the level of the evidence for the article and describe whether the article provides you with strong evidence to answer your question or not, and why.
This assignment is quite flexible in topic. A hard copy of your presentation must be uploaded to the assignment Turnitin section in the Moodle site. You must also provide a face to face presentation in a Pikachu format, which means that the presentation takes 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Usually 20 slides and 20 seconds for each slide. However you can have fewer slides to give more time for each slide.
If you have grounds for lodging an Academic Consideration to receive an extension of time, please do so. The Academic consideration policy is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/about/policy/UOW058721.html
