CRITERIA GUIDELINES TO WRITE YOUR DIGITAL POSTER
Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 - to complete your Digital Poster
STEP 1 - Choose the Focus of Your Digital Poster (refer to document)
Being particularly aware of cultural considerations choose one item from List A and one item from List B. Together these will provide the focus area of your research, case study scenario development and your digital poster content. Your focus needs to be about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infant or child health, or maternal health.
List A
Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander female infant or child client (ages 0 – 12 years)
Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander male infant or child client (ages 0 – 12 years)
Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander child bearing woman client (ages 18 – 32 years)
List B
Injury/accident Infant or child client – choose one Injury/accident health case study scenario (this means your digital poster theme is not on the topic of Injury/accident more broadly - you have to do some research and choose just one Injury/accident health scenario condition only and focus your digital poster content on that topic)
Infectious disease Infant or child client – choose one infectious disease scenario (this means that your digital poster theme is not on the broad topic of Infectious disease in Indigenous infants or children - you have to do some research and choose one infectious disease scenario and focus your digital poster content on that topic). Some suggestions:– acute otitis media (AOT), acute rheumatic fever (ARF), scabies skin infestation.
Acute maternal health illness client – choose one acute maternal health illness scenario (this means that your digital poster theme is not on the broad topic of acute maternal health illness in Indigenous child bearing women - you must do some research and choose one acute maternal health illness scenario and focus your digital poster content on that topic)
STEP 2: Create the Case Study Scenario
Based on your choice above, create a fictional ‘Case Study’ scenario relating to ‘Closing the Gap’ in Indigenous infant health /child health/maternal health. Your case study scenario should include the Indigenous clients background and medical history (name, age, religion, next of kin, family situation, where they live, employment, medications, medical and surgical history, prior condition before needing nursing or midwifery intervention, cultural needs, etc).
Start researching your focus area to build your case study scenario around. I recommend that you think about what you will do when you are working in a healthcare setting for the client in your case study scenario? Ask yourself? what research would I do about the client in my care? what would I write in my client’s chart? what has my client been admitted for? – what nursing or midwifery interventions would I carry out, and what drug therapy would I administer to the client in my case study scenario? How would I provide cultural safety for the client in my care?
STEP 3 – Researching the Client’s Health Situation/Condition
Research literature to obtain information about the health situation/condition chosen from List B in your case study scenario. This should include pathophysiology/prevalence in Indigenous communities, nursing interventions and possible drug therapy. Use literature to support key points in your digital poster
Note: Cultural safety considerations specifically linked to your case study scenario should be highlighted, as your case study scenario and digital poster content needs to flow and be built on evidenced based research. Information used throughout your digital poster must relate and link back to your initial case study scenario content/outline, that you have developed.
STEP 4: Designing your Digital Poster
THE POSTER CONTENT AND DESIGN MUST INCLUDE:
POSTER TITLE
Heading 1 – Introduction
Heading 2 - Case Study Scenario (dot point form)
Heading 3 - Topic Information – Pathophysiology/ Prevalence in Indigenous Communities, etc
Heading 4 – Nursing or Midwifery Interventions and Drug Therapy (best practice)
Heading 5 - Cultural Safety in Nursing or Midwifery Practice (best practice)
Heading 6 - Reference List – 6 x references only

Introduction - Your introduction: should introduce the focus of the work, e.g. best practice for providing care for Indigenous clients with...
Case Study Scenario - Your case study scenario : should be in dot point form. Your case study scenario should include your Indigenous clients background and history. (e.g. name, age, religion, next of kin, family support, where they live, employment/schooling, medications, medical and surgical history, condition prior to needing care/intervention, cultural needs (important), other, etc - while your case study scenario does not require all of these points/ or may include additional points - your case study scenario has to flow and make logical sense, and be built on evidenced based research.
Topic Information - Your topic Information: should include one of the topics from Step 1/ List B - You will have to research the information provided to decide on your specific (one) topic. Briefly describe the pathophysiology and prevalence in Indigenous communities, possible treatment including drug therapy.
Nursing Interventions - Your nursing or midwifery interventions and drug therapy: should be researched and evidenced based for your specific case study scenario that you have created, and your chosen topic.
Cultural Safety - Your information about cultural safety: should be aligned with the Indigenous client in your case study scenario and include how you would personally apply cultural safety framework to your nursing or midwifery practice.
References - HARVARD reference format. 6 x references must be included Please use references no older than 10 years, however, older references okay to use to support historical content. There is no need to reference the case study scenario that you create.
