I enjoyed this part of the dissemination project the most. It was fun to put the information we found onto a visually appealing poster. I’m not normally a very creative person, but my group made it easy to complete! We work well as a team and I’m proud of the final product. Sadly, we have not gotten any feedback from the nurses in the SCU yet. Our hope is that this poster on proning can be a useful aid for them, especially with the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
I have learned so much more about proning than I have previously got from school and clinical. I have a better understanding of when and why it’s used, the actual process, and the benefits or risks associated. I can take this knowledge with me into my future practice as a nurse. It is possible that I will be in a position where my patient can benefit from proning. I have a knowledge base where I would feel comfortable posing the idea to prone or explaining why I think it could be beneficial in improving my patient’s condition. I also have gained more experience with researching and applying evidence-based practice. This could set me apart from other applicants when I apply for jobs. I would want employers to know about my work in this class and my willingness to use these skills in my practice at their institution. I can also share my positive experience with working in teams.
In both EBP I and II, I have worked successfully in a team, and I believe I was a valuable part of the team. I think teamwork is important and I have some good experiences to share. I like to look over the little details and help make everything look cohesive. I am a motivated person and I bring those two parts of me into my teamwork. I like to get my work done early and I am sure to do it well. I always go back and edit grammar, visualizations, and ensure everything is top notch once others have contributed their work. I enjoy working with others when everyone participates and gives it their best effort. This team did just that and I enjoyed contributing to our dissemination project.
I think your groups poster looks great! It definitely catches the eye and is very nice to look at! I also think the message your group is trying to get across is both clear and concise. It contains a large amount of important information but is not overwhelming. I think the poster was a great way to try to get your message across. I have been in a room to assist with proning a patient and thought I had a good understanding on the process, however, after reading your infographic I have learned so much more! Lastly, I think adding your google form as a QR code at the bottom of the poster was such a good idea! Once again, great work!
Your poster looks really good and I appreciated the knowledge assessments at the beginning and end of the poster. I really liked the step by step instructions of proning and the contraindications section of your poster. As somebody who has taken part in proning patients and has seen this happen quite a few times, I think this information is highly relevant and accurate to these situations. It is definitely a practice that is much more prevalent than it was before the pandemic, and I am glad that it has been found to be beneficial for these patients. Great job on this! Good luck!
