  1. • I really like your choice of case study, I felt it was very relatable, I actually dealt with a similar scenario when working in long term care.
    • The statistics used in the population section were very relevant and clearly stated.
    • The section of the poster labeled “complexity” made some interesting points of different thought processes which I appreciated, however it was difficult to understand exactly what you are trying to say in this section. For example is it the caregiver burnout that has fuzzy boundaries? What is linear in the traditional thinking that adds to the complexities? I think it would be helpful to expand on some points in this section to make them clearer.
    • In the interrelationships section of the poster, I like that there are lots of points to go off of and it is very thought provoking, however it is unclear how different components of caregiver burnout are related to one another. It might be helpful to draw arrows between two ideas that are connected to one another.
    • In the informal Caregiver portion of the perspectives section I feel there is a clear effort to understand this perspective.
    • In the patient and nurse caregiver section of, perspectives I think it would be helpful to look at the situation from the perspective of the patient or nurse caregiver and what they may be experiencing rather than a broad take on the patient and nurse caregiver outcomes.
    • I really liked this section of your poster, the boundaries are clear, and I understand what is preventing an informal and nurse caregiver from escaping caregiver burnout.
    • Before the solutions portion of the poster I think you should add a section dedicated to interconnections among the IPBs.
    • I think your solutions are very well thought out and I look forward to seeing how you elaborate on them in your presentation.
    • I like the colour palate that was chosen, and everything is very clear and readable, I do think that the subheadings in black could use an outlined textbox or an underline to help them stand out from the rest of the text.
    • The pictographs/ graphics chosen are very relevant to the topic they are placed under. I do think it would add to the visual appeal if you were able to lengthen the poster, stagger the text boxes and make the graphics bigger.
    • I like the choice in referencing style it allows for a nice flow in the poster, however I think it would be helpful to have a reference list in a smaller font at the bottom of the poster.

  2. Hey team,
    I’d like to start with a good job on your poster! It begins with a very clear introduction to your population (caregivers) and scenario at play (burnout). Nice job incorporating a lot of context into this section, it paints a good picture. In the population section, there are informative statistics to support the high incidence of caregiver burnout that is happening today, as well as noting that eventually caregivers end up using the medical system for a needed break. This is a good observation as this puts a large strain on the medical system when needing to plan discharges for these patients.
    Moving on to the complexity section, you made some good points although I think it could be elaborated more as to what it is you are trying to say here as I had a hard time trying to clearly identify the points you were trying to make. Your poster does a good job analyzing the 3 parts of IPB, I think you have put down some great points but it could use some more context on what each is impacting and how they connect to each other. This could be identified with some imagery/art connecting the concepts. I liked that you had labelled spots for both types of caregivers in your IPB relations. Although in your introduction, I thought we would just be discussing the impact of primary caregivers, such as family members, like Kelly, that end up relying on the medical system for a break. You could incorporate in your introduction that caregivers and the medical system are also struggling due to home caregivers experiencing burnout and passing the buck essentially. I think your boundaries and system stressors section was done really well and incorporated a lot of useful information that was concise. I think it would be beneficial to your poster if you included an area that specifically identified the interconnectedness of the IPBs – to summarize the points you made in each section. I like that your poster had solutions to both support both caregivers, and ideas to provide support. The choice of colours and font on your poster was done great as I could easily navigate and read everything. I think the little art you had in each section was relevant to that area. I think the use of some more pictures to show connections would be beneficial to clearly identify the relations between concepts. I also did not see your reference list and therefore was unable to identify the credibility of your resources and if they were within the last 5 years. A suggestion to use victorian style when referencing in the poster to make the numbers smaller than the font, as a few times I was distracted by the numbers in the sentence. For example in “population” I thought your intentions were to number points “1.. 2.. 3…”. Overall, well done on your poster! I can see that a lot of thought and effort was put into it and I look forward to seeing your final product!

  3. Hello! I think your scenario is very thorough and provides a clear overview of the complexities to follow throughout the poster. I think it is important to provide the information that Kelly does not have any formal training as a dealing with individuals who have complex needs, it may be powerful to identify how many caregivers even with training burn out if it is a relevant statistic. I think in the complexity section it could benefit from greater expansion on the ideas written, though it is hard to balance succinct writing vs too many words, as a reader I am feeling like I am not getting a clear picture of this section without diving into the references. Interrelationships & Perspective section: I found it clear here to identify the issues and why the impact of burnout was so substantial, concise while providing a broad understanding of the issue. Good job. I like the colour pallet of the poster, it makes the information easy to follow. I think it is fantastic that you chose to add both solutions for the informal caregiver and the nurse caregiver and to compare how the informal caregiver burnout affects nursing burnout. A suggestion I would make would be to incorporate the connections between interrelationships, perspective, and boundaries more. This could maybe be done by adding some more graphics for connections between them.

    Random suggestions:
    Regarding the in-text citations, maybe consider using a different font, or superscripting it to make the references stand out more? I found it a little distracting to have them in the same font, size, and at the same height for some reason.
    Nurse caregiver section suggestion: COVID-19 spreading fact feels like important information but as I was reading it it felt out of place to me in this section. I wonder if greater detail on this fact could increase reader understanding, or potentially putting it into a different section like system stressors could utilize this suggestion/information more effectively?

    Overall, great job on the poster! The layout and colour scheme makes the information easy to follow, the font is clear, the information is informative to the problem at hand for the population, and you identified that there is a difference between nursing caregivers and informal caregivers, interrelationships between the two, and stress that the system places onto both roles. Job well done, can’t wait to see how it turns out in the end.

  4. Hello Team,

    I really enjoyed reading through your poster. It was very captivating, easy to understand, and the flow of information was organized. The one thing that I though was well done is how the case scenario was well introduced and was integrated throughout your poster it made it easy to apply the concepts. Good choice of colour schemes, applying statistical information having pieces of information made it easy to understand the overall objective (s) of your poster. Furthermore, each section had a good amount of information that was well thought out. I liked how you had little illustrations throughout the poster that helped connect each piece; However, I would suggest adding more pictures and changing the layout a little bit. For instance, in the boundary portion there seems to be a lot of information, maybe condensing some of the information there (choose 3-4 key points) and add a bit more illustration might help. I also found the citations a bit distracting as I was trying to read the poster. I would also suggest expanding further in the complexity section, I was a bit confused and puzzled with the purpose of this section. Overall, well done the language used was clear. I felt that it would be easy for lay persons to understand. I loved your topic I think we that we do not do a great job of advocating for caregivers and from time to time we do see them get burnt out and not a lot of care is given to the caregivers.
