Presentation on Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Reflection

Presentation on urinary pathway Infection (UTI) watchingINTRODUCTIONAs a part of my Overseas Nursing Programme, I had to run a seminar pledgeation on any topic of my participation in front of students. I was given the date of testifyation. Knowledge expands through with(predicate) communication and presentation is a means of communication and best applicable when delivering knowledge to a group. Presentation means A speech or talk in which a new product, idea, or piece of feed is shown and explained to an audience (Oxford dictionaries. 2014). The aim of any presentation is to motivate, to communicate, to persuade to inform, to teach or to support you express your ideas and get others to understand it(Bradbury, 2007). The content of your presentation guard its own aim or purpose, normally its related to the outcomes you desire from the presentations communication. onward presenting ensure that you understand what your task is and the time available (Bradbury, 2007). During the presentation the talker may use various aids of communication such as the audio visual aids like power point, graphs, various recordings. diagrams, flowcharts or models (Theobald, 2013).Reflective practices enables the health professional to bridge that gap between the speculation and practice. Reflective practice is a process by which you stop and pretend about your practice, consciously analyse your decision making and draw on theory and relate it to what you do in practice (Jasper, 2003). Therefore I chose Gibbs model of reflection (1988) to reflect on my presentation. Gibbs model of reflection take on six different steps which are Description, Feeling, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion and Action mean (Gibbs, 1988).DESCRIPTIONAs a part of our Overseas Nursing Programme, we had to conduct a seminar presentation in the class in front of our volume mates. Presentation is a means of communication which bottom of the inning be utilize at various situations including a form al meeting, talk in a group or team legal briefing. (SkillsYouNeed (2014)). Seminar is a group meeting in which there is instruction or training given on a topic. Thus a seminar presentation is a manner of communicating information on a topic.Selecting the topic was the toughest part. With the short time of presentation and considering the hard-hitting delivery of information, the topic of presentation had to be brief and simple. I chose urinary Tract Infection as my topic of presentation as it was cardinal of the most common condition seen in my area of practice. I did an panoptic literature refreshen for the topic to obtain wide data for my presentation. Aliterature review is the data obtained from scholarly paper, which consists of the most recent information including essential findings as well as methodological and theoretical contribution to a circumstantial topic of interest (Baker, 2000). In my presentation, I included a brief exposition of UTI and stated that it is a type of infection which involves various part of the urinary pamphlet which includes the urethra, the bladder, the ureters and the kidneys (Amdekar, Singh and Singh, 2011). Urinary tract infections occur more usually in women than men. Its estimated half of all women in the UK will have a UTI at least once in their life (Colgan and Williams, 2011). UTI diagnosis can be done via urine dip test and urine culture. antibiotic treatment is necessary to clear the infection. Prevention being better than cure, erect fluid intake and veracious personal hygiene can help reduce chances of getting urinary tract infection (Juthani-Mehta, et al. 2009). I in addition included in the content, how their behaviour was affected by this condition. I have those with the practice and guidelines followed in the diagnosis and treatment in the UK and prepared the slides. I used power point technology to perform my presentation using texts, pictures and graphs. I used simple language and included o nly the important points. As the group for which the seminar was aimed at was educated in medical field and knew almost as much as I knew regarding the topic, parole method was used.FEELINGInitially, I was a bit anxious and nervous as I had to present in front of a gathering. Stage dread was bit of a concern. But regardless of that, I was able to present my topic well as there was a positive surroundings to support me. Great reflection also results from the positive environment offered to the presenter (Brookfield,1995). I felt more and more confident as the reciprocation started and I was able to answer all the doubts. My assessor also helped me. At the end of the seminar I felt satisfied with my work and happy that I was able to complete the task given to me.EVALUATIONEven though with all the hassles, I was able to provide a brief description of the topic. It covered most of the areas and provided a clear picture regarding Urinary Tract Infection to the people gathered. Int eractive secessions were carried out providing group involvement thence making the secession interesting. The various queries were dealt with proper explanation providing the accurate knowledge. summaryI got positive feedback from my assessor. By conducting the presentation, I was able to offer a brief description about the Urinary Tract Infection, its definition, occurrence, epidemiology, types, pathophysiology, its symptoms and counselling. I got good support from my assessor and audience who prompted me to do the presentation well. They were able to encounter knowledge regarding UTI and for some it offered a encouragement to their knowledge.CONCLUSIONThis presentation offered me an fortune to develop my talent and skills in presentation. The group was able to understand and travail the information offered to them. Experiences were shared which brought in new information and made the discussion and thus the seminar more interesting. The assessors offered a positive feedback f or my presentation. This experience helped me overcome my fears and gave me confidence to perform more presentation in my work place or future carrier pathway.ACTION PLANAfter performing the contemplative presentation, I came up with the following action plan.
