What is a Narrated Research Poster?
Research posters are a common way to summarise the best available evidence and present the findings of a research project. Poster presentations are commonly presented in poster fairs or expos at professional conferences, and special events hosted by health care organisations. There are a variety of research posters with differing objectives/purposes. Nurses and allied health professionals are both generators and consumers of research outcomes.
Standard 1 Registered Nurse:Links to an external site.Thinks critically and analyses nursing practice.Registered Nurse's use a variety of thinking strategies and the best available evidence in making decisions and providing safe, quality nursing practice within person-centred and evidence-based frameworks.

Please carefully read and follow these instructionsStudents will use the detailedAssignment Task 3 marking guide to prepare a recorded, orally narrated poster presentation. The marking guide provides instructions on what you need to do, and theAssignment task 3 rubric helps you to understand how your grade is allocated based on how well you do.
The narrated poster presentation will include:
Summary of a specific health care practice issue in one of these areas
Maternal and Child Health
Acute and Complex Care of Adults
Healthy Ageing and Community Care
A clinical research question about a specific health care practice issue using thePICO format. By the time you start this assignment, you will have had practice writing PICO questions, and differentiate 'research questions' from a PICO or 'clinical research question'. It is important toask an answerablequestion: 'Can cranberry capsules reduce UTI's' rather than 'do nurses believe that cranberry capsules can reduce UTIs'?
Description of a search for literature, and identification of 5 peer-reviewed primary literature quantitative research articles.
Discussion of the JBI critical appraisal of the selected research articles in the narration (no submission of the critical appraisal forms).
Summary of findings from the research articles that, if implemented, could help to answer the clinical research question.
Use of the current APA referencing style.
High Level Overview
Format
A poster template is provided and should be adopted (make it your own by adding the colours, etc. you would like) by the student. Visual appeal and readability (that is professional) are key components of a poster presentation. Be mindful of the font size; the poster template is a good guide.
The total word count should be approximately 800-1000 words (+/- 10%) excluding end-text references (although we will not be splitting hairs over this, consider the word count guide).
10-minute narration (you do not need to submit the script)
In a narration
Reading the poster is not acceptable, rather the information in the poster will be used as talking points to describe and summarise the content of the poster.
Clarity of speech is critical.
There should be an even speed when speaking, but your speaking should not be putting the audience to sleep, and lack clarity (or background noise) leaving your audience wondering what is being said should be avoided.
Every word counts, so practice before recording will be helpful.
Be sure to check that you can replay the narration before uploading. If you have technical difficulties trouble-shoot on your own, connect with peers on the discussion board or, as a lost resort contact IT. Waiting until the last minute to record and upload is not a good idea as it creates unnecessary stress, so try to have a few days before the due date and test that everything works as it should.
In a poster
Use the provided template and make it appealing based on your topic;
Bullet points are acceptable, but wordiness is avoided.
Use of images (with appropriate attribution) is encouraged.
Writing using the first person (eg: I or my) is not acceptable.
Academic writing is required (no colloquial terminology, use of correct medical terminology).
Visual appeal is important.
