ISD Poster Presentations: Health Sciences

Our project is about the understanding how the perception of nursing is influenced by media and how this might impact nurses. We aim to discuss the importance and implications of having a nursing identity, identify key historical figures and events that helped shape the professional image of nursing, analyze the impact of inaccurate stereotypes on nurses’ self-concept and explore strategies to promote a positive nursing image.

In this video, my classmate and I discuss health care errors along with non-medical health care errors. Questions that we asked our fellow classmates included: What are some kind of errors you think take place in a hospital setting? How frequently do errors occur? What factors contribute to errors? What are the costs of errors? What are the most common types of medical errors? Additionally, we show a couple of mini video clips and discuss ways in which we can prevent medical errors from occurring.

The use of social media in nursing comes with both pitfalls and opportunities. Social media is used globally especially in the nursing world. If used correctly it can be a great tool to connect with each other and interdisciplinary team members. Social media is a great source of education as well. Both nurses and patients are rapidly adopting social media, giving nurses the opportunity to provide guidance when necessary. However, if used incorrectly the consequences can include losing your nursing license. In this presentation we discuss both the pitfalls and opportunities of social media in the nursing profession.

Tasnia Nokib and Mario Caviris discuss the expansion of the job market in the profession of nursing. We will focus on the ways nursing professionals can choose from a variety of exciting career opportunities, depending on their educational background, interests, and desired level of practice.

In this video we discuss a few legal and ethical issues nurses should be aware of.

This poster presentation describes the research conducted at Iona University to evaluate current college-branded apparel and the impact it has on individuals with disabilities. The research has indicated that current apparel creates social and physical barriers to both dressing and participation on campus. During the research process, the company AccessiGear was created to help combat these apparel-based issues. AccessiGear is a college branded adaptive clothing company that is premised around the idea of accessible design. Accessible design is essentially a process of design which enables people with disabilities to easily and effectively complete daily activities. It can be defined in terms of modifications in physical or sensory characteristics which ultimately impact emotional and social well-being as well. The principle of accessible design can be applied to fashion to create adaptive clothing; however, there is insufficient research and progress in this field, especially for the college student population.

Storytelling is an integral part of language development. It is essential and used throughout our lives with the ability to communicate with others effectively, whether written or spoken. Our interest for this poster was to examine variations in narratives across linguistic and cultural contexts. Through our work, we found information on storytelling skills of the culturally linguistically diverse pre-school and school-age individual. However, there was little research on college-age individuals, our population of interest. We discuss our points through our literature review and provide details on storytelling practices across cultures. Different forms of organization styles such as topic-centered and topic-associating are some forms of how various groups and cultures organize their stories and the structures they choose to emphasize. Among our research, we learned a great deal about how important storytelling organization is in all cultural and linguistic groups and how they formulate different narrative styles that are intrinsically related to the expression of their culture.

In this poster, we aim to inform the Iona Community how the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department's Culturally Linguistically Diverse Society (CLDS) has strived to create a space in which students and faculty can engage in culturally and linguistically sensitive conversations such as multiculturalism and anti-racism to educate and support each other since its initiation in 2017. Additionally, we report how Iona University and other colleges in the NY tri-state area are supporting their diverse students and faculty through resources, programs, and clubs, and how they are striving to be an anti-racist campus.

Research has shown that it is more difficult to perceive accents in singing than in speech. Non-native English speakers without formal musical training were recorded singing selections of standards and cover songs specifically featuring vowel sounds not found in their L1. The perceptibility of the singer’s accent will be judged by the singer’s own self-rating as well as expert analysis. In this study, we examined how our participants perceive their own accents in both traditional songs and songs best known from a single famous recording. We hypothesize that the singer’s native accent will be more perceptible when singing well-known standards, while the singer will be more likely to adopt another accent when singing cover songs best known from a single famous recording.
