Aim of assessment:
The purpose of this assessment is to enable students to;
· Develop a research project from the given topic area, highlight the signifcance, research question, conduct the
initial literature search and illustrate the proposed research methods in the form of a poster (Learning outcome 1, 3
and 4).
· Explain the rationale of the selected research methodology including data analysis and its relevance to the proposed
research project (Learning outcome 1 and 3).
Details:
Select from one of the topics below:
For Nursing students only
Topic area 1: Medication safety is an integral part of nursing and midwifery practice. Medicines are associated with
a higher incidence of errors and adverse events than other healthcare interventions. In the interest of patient safety,
measures must be undertaken to improve the safety and quality of medication administration.
7
Topic area 2: A healthcare-associated infection (HAI), is an infection that is acquired in a hospital or other health
care facility. Healthcare-associated infections are one of the most common complications affecting patients in healthcare facilities. Consequences of HAIs include; prolonged hospital stays and increased cost of patient care, as well as
unnecessary pain and suffering for patients and in some cases death.
For Midwifery students only
Topic area: Breastfeeding is recognised as an important public health issue with enormous social and economic
implications. Infants who do not receive breast milk are likely to experience poorer health outcomes than breastfed
infants; mothers who do not breastfeed increase their own health risks.
Part A: Poster
Develop a poster using the template provided on vUWS. In response to your topic area the poster must include the
following:
– Title
– A brief background (signifcance of selected topic)
– Research question (PICo/PICO)
– Database search
– Methodology
– Research design
– Participants
– Sampling strategies
– Data collection method
– Data analysis method
– References
Part B: Guided questions providing the rationale
Based on the topic selected in your poster respond to the questions below using the template provided on vUWS;
1. Provide the rationale for the choice of the research design (qualitative/ quantitative/mixed method) and its
relevance to proposed research project (350 words)
2. Provide the rationale for the selection of the participants (sampling criteria), sampling strategies and data collection
method and its appropriateness to the proposed research project (350 words)
3. Provide the rationale for the selection of the data analysis method and why is it appropriate for the proposed
research project? (300 words)
Resources
Examples may be available on the vUWS site.There are a number of textbooks and resources available through the
Western Sydney University Library that may assist you. Please refer to the unit’s vUWS site for specifc unit resources.
