The purpose of this assignment is to create a poster that will present the visual and graphic presentation of the capstone project. Poster presentation should clearly articulate what you did, how you did it, why you did it, and what it contributes to your field and the larger field of human knowledge. This assignment is due in week seven and must be presented by the student.
Create your poster per guidance and approval from your capstone course faculty (template provided above). Follow the poster template as outlined and review the recommended resources in creating your poster.
FOCUS ON JEAN WATSON THEORY
What goals should you keep in mind to construct a poster?
- Clarity of content. Decide on a small number of key points that you want your viewers to take away from your presentation, and articulate those ideas clearly and concisely.
- Visual interest and accessibility. The viewers should notice and take interest in your poster so that they will pause to learn more about your project, and you will need the poster’s design to present your research in a way that is easy for those viewers to make easy sense of it.
From the capstone project, students will create an effective poster with the following information:
Title: Project Title
Authors: Your name, faculty advisor’s name
Background/Significance
Purpose or Aims of the Study
Methods/Design
Expected Results/Outcomes
Anticipated Conclusions

doubt what your poster is about. Generally, posters are read from leO to right; organize the content with this in mind. When possible, lead the viewer through the logical Sow using bold take-home points or arrows.
• Use a visual image. People retain visual images longer than the wriWen word, so aim for at least one
Most professional meeting agendas set aside speciYc times for poster presentations. Many organizations o3er continuing education credit for poster session aWen- dance. Be aware that if your poster is accepted at a conference, a presenter familiar with the project or re- search is expected to be available during poster ses- sions to answer questions.

A networking oppo^unity Poster presentations are excellent oppo^unities not just to showcase your work but also to network with colleagues who have similar interests. E3ective pre- senters introduce themselves to aWendees and “walk” them through their poster, oOen adding information that they think will interest them. Some aWendees may want to take the information back to their or- ganizations, so consider having handouts available to distribute at the conference. Also, bring your busi- ness cards or wriWen contact information to give to
pa^icipants.
From poster to a^icle? Interest in your poster by conference aWendees may in- spire you to take the next step—turning it into an a^i- cle. OOen, journal editors aWend specialty conferences
and visit poster exhibits. This can be a good oppo^u- nity to query them about their journals’ potential inter- est in your topic.
Presenting a poster is a chance to learn from at- tendees about aspects of your work that pa^icularly resonate with your audience. This can give you a beWer idea of how to present your work in a journal a^icle to ensure it’s informative and interesting and provides clear implications for the nursing pro- fession.
Poster sessions have become an impo^ant pa^ of most professional conferences and are an excellent way for presenters to share their work. Enjoy the expe- rience of proudly standing next to your poster and dis- cussing your work with interested colleagues. ✯
