• Review supported that poster presentations were an effective method of:
– disseminating knowledge – sharing research findings – communicating best practice outcomes.
• The literature review validated that poster presentations include the following:
– Defining a specific topic/concept - Validating with research – Abstract preparation - Poster content – Poster format - Presentation – References - Judging criteria

Developing an Abstract Step Four
• An abstract is a concise description of a topic/concept and is submitted for consideration to a conference for presentation (poster or oral)
• The abstract topic/concept must conform with the conference theme – Best practice initiative poster at the RPNAO conference – Oncology education at an oncology conference
• The abstract will guide the poster presentation– All key points in the abstract should be present in the poster
• Do not reprint the abstract on the poster
• Abstracts include: – Background (optional), objectives, method, results and conclusion

Types of AbstractsStep Four
Research Based(Study Related)
• Purpose• Conceptual Framework• Method• Data Analysis• Findings• Conclusion/Implications
Program Based(Educational or Project)
• Innovation description• Outline of objectives• Process description/
possible outcomes• Value to nursing program
and practice• Suggestions for
implementation

Format ColoursFormatting Tips Backgrounds should be complementary
Avoid red/green-colour blindness is common
Red Green
Unify poster- selecting one background colour
Purple suggest rank- do not use with black or grey
Yellow and red is a stimulating combination
Use complementary colour as an accent
Orange with blue or
Blue with yellow are complementary
Blue and green are calming and a popular choice
Lighter shades create emphasis on dark backgrounds- Blue/white or grey /black
White is stark but a high contrast to dark colours and black
Black is dramatic and a good background to bright colours

Your verbal should only provides details
Be prepared to answer questions

Conclusion• Poster presentations are an effective method of presenting a topic/concept to:
– Stimulate interest and discussion– Create a forum for research feedback– Allow for networking
• Determine one topic/concept and support with 4-5 points
• Develop content for a 5 minute viewing– Use the 20-40-40 rule as a guide
• Formatting is vital as presentation is visual– Font type and size should be readable from 3 feet away– The poster size will determine the amount of content – Choose colours carefully– Use abstract/judging criteria as an outline for the poster
19
• It is common to add acknowledgements to your poster– During the fellowship you may wish to thank your
primary mentor or other members of your organization that supported your project
