  1. Yes, it is possible: A research report in 10 minutes Martha J. Lentz Research Professor Advisors: Liz Bridges Gail Kieckhefer Carol Landis Sarah Shannon Karen Thomas Supported by UW Office for Nursing Research NINR 2 P30 NR04001

  2. Purpose Discuss content, timing and considerations in doing a successful 10 minute research presentation.

  3. Organization of This talk • Overall guidelines • Research presentation what to include in the • Beginning • Middle • End • What to do • What to avoid

  4. Overall Guidelines • Start focused Stay focused • Think what is the most succinct way to present your material clearly • Don’t read your slides verbatim • Use spoken words and slides to supplement each other • Never more then 15 slides

  5. Beginning: Content • One minute • Three slides • Title, Funding support • Purpose • Background • Yes, still use only 1 minute

  6. Beginning: ContentTitle • Title slide with co-authors • Include funding source(s) if room • If long list may want to make a separate slide can also be the very last slide • Same for others wish to thank subjects, study team

  7. Beginning: ContentPurpose • Focus of the study or project being reported • List of specific aims

  8. Beginning: Content Background • Think NEW if published don’t talk about it • Answer to so what question • One slide

  9. Beginning: Do • Have a plan of what to say first • Thank you for the opportunity … • I want to acknowledge my co-investigators and funding support • Move quickly to the purpose • The purpose of this study was to test…. • This project was implemented to ….

  10. Beginning: Do • Use the thank you to start purpose statement • Thank you for the opportunity to describe our study on sleep in women with and without fibromyalgia.

  11. Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of nocturnal sleep and hormone patterns in mid-life women with and without fibromyalgia.

  12. Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome manifest by poor unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, unexplained widespread pain, generalized morning stiffness, and multiple tender points.

  13. Beginning: Avoid • Repeating your name and title • Apologizing for what you won’t be able to cover • Adding additional background information

  14. Middle: Content Methods • Methods 1 minute and one slide • 2 minutes and 2 slides is probably excessive • The four Ws • What • Where • When • Who

  15. Middle: Methods Do • Use a picture or diagram of protocol • Display model to be tested • Describe only parts germane to purpose and results being presented

  16. Middle: Methods (con’t) • Mention data analysis only if there is something special • If testing a model • Several steps to the process • Get double use of your time • Sixty 9- 11 year old children were tested pre and post an education intervention on smoking health risks.

  17. Protocol • Daily symptom diaries for 1 month to verify pain levels • Fm subjects weaned from medications 2 weeks prior to sleeping • Post menses days 5-10 • Night 1 adaptation • Night 2 baseline sleep • Night 3 hourly blood draws 8 pm to 7 am

  18. Middle: Methods Avoid • Describing all elements of a study when you are presenting only a portion • Listing tests that will be obvious from results • E.g. T-test • Use more then 2 slides

  19. Middle: Methods Avoid • Ok if you include data as combining sample demographics you can have 3 slides

  20. Middle: Results Content • Real data 6-7 minutes 6-7 slides • Real numbers • Real text

  21. Middle: Results Do • Keep slides simple • Make sure font large enough to read • Think of most parsimonious presentation • Plots for key data • Tables for number • Shortest text that conveys theme

  25. Theme 1: Sense of Self Most readers can read silently to themselves much faster then the speaker can read aloud. A short concise quote with a stage setting introduction often works better then a long quote where you rely on the respondent to both set the scene and provide the example for the theme. When you finish reading this raise your hand.

  26. Middle: Results Avoid • Trying to present every piece of data you have • I know this is to small for you to read • This is a confusing slide • Tables with many many rows & columns • Quotes that fill even a single slide

  27. End: Content • Summary of key points • Conclusion as to next step • Research question • Change in practice

  28. End: Do • Be specific • Specific research question • Specific change in practice

  29. End: Avoid • Claims beyond the data • Non specific • More research is needed

  30. Summary

  31. Future Directions • Be focused in content selection • Make slides succinct- telegraphic • Practice in front of a live audience
