Assignment Brief

• An individual verbal presentation
Within your presentation, you will need to provide evidence-based information, discussion and critical
appraisal of a health promotional/educational resource that relates to a child/person or family for
whom you have been involved in providing care. You must also justify your choice of topic.
You are required to provide a reasoned argument, which demonstrates an appropriate depth and
breadth of knowledge of the topic area, as well as a critical analysis of the specific resource you have
chosen. The level 7 Presentation Assessment Criteria will help you to do this (available in the
Assessment Information section of the Moodle site).
The aim of this presentation is to achieve the following module learning outcomes:
Shared learning outcomes:
6. Critically discuss how health beliefs, values and relevant preventive and health promotion
theory can be applied when planning and evaluating interventions (including relevant
resources) for people of different ages, functional and health states;
7. Critically discuss the rationale and evidence base for identified health priorities, discussing
implications for public health, preventive and individual nursing interventions;
8. Demonstrate depth of understanding of the relevance of health informatics and digital
technology in providing personalised care;
9. Synthesise, plan and evaluate health promotion interventions (incorporating relevant
resources) aiming to promote longer term health of children, young people or adults.
The following learning outcomes must also be achieved (those specific to your field of study):
Adult Nursing specific learning outcomes:
10. Critically examine how an adult’s environment, location of care and transition between health
services may impact on their health and wellbeing and how positive experiences can be
promoted by nurses;
11. Explore ways to work with adults as partners in the negotiation and promotion of self-care and
self-management.
12. Critically discuss the concepts of continuity, coping and adaptation in the context of health,
chronic and life limiting illness in adults;
13. Explore how relevant research, theory and current health and social policy can inform
collaborative strategies to support health and wellbeing in adults;
14. Examine how an adult’s health, wellbeing and independence can be promoted through the
systematic assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of a personalised care
approach.
Children’s Nursing specific learning outcomes:
10. Demonstrate depth of understanding and ability to apply in nursing assessment and care,
relevant research and theory about child and lifespan development in health and illness (biopsycho-
social, including family systems);

12. Debate how relevant research, theory and current health and social policy can inform
collaborative strategies to support children and families experiencing physical, psychological

epidemiology in an analysis of health priorities in maternal and child health.
Mental Health Nursing specific learning outcomes:

mental health problems in adults and the major interventional approaches available for these
problems;
