PowerPoint Tips

Remember that Speaker’s Notes found under the slide in the Normal View are essential if others are to understand your goals for the presentation. On each slide, you will see a white box under the slide where you will find the “Click to add notes” text box which is for your notes. All information taken from outside sources must be properly cited in the speaker notes.

The slides should include only bullet points – not even written in complete sentences – and the rest of the details – what you would say if we were listening to your presentation – goes in the Speaker’s Notes under each slide.

Keys to Effective PowerPoint Presentations
? Use no more than five words per line

? Use no more than five lines per slide

? Use no more than one topic per slide

? Use clear simple fonts, such as Arial, as they are easier to read

? Use light colored font on dark backgrounds, or dark colored fonts on light background

? Insert a slide with a chart or graph to break up reading slides

? When considering ClipArt, use quality images or none at all

? Remember copyright laws when taking an image from the Internet

TIPS: Don’t use too many photographs, because they are often large files. There’s a size limit to files sent through OLS – 10 MB. If you use a graphic that has been published, you need to cite it like you would any other published resource you use.

Core Concepts of Jean Watson?s Theory of Human Caring/Caring Science
The Core Priniciples/Practices: Evolving From Carative to Caritas (Watson, 2008, p. 34) ? Practice of loving-kindness and equanimity ? Authentic presence: enabling deep belief of other (patient, colleague, family, etc.) ? Cultivation of one?s own spiritual practice toward wholeness of mind/body/spirit?beyond ego ? ?Being? the caring-healing environment ? Allowing miracles (openness to the unexpected and inexplicable life events)
Core Concepts of the Theory: ? A relational caring for self and others based on a moral/ethical/philosophical foundation of love and values
? Transpersonal caring relationship (going beyond ego to higher ?spiritual? caring created by ?Caring Moments?) ? Moral commitment to protect and enhance human dignity ? Respect/?love? for the person?honoring his/her needs, wishes, routines, and rituals ? Caring Consciousness of self as person/nurse and other as person?connection as human beings ? Heart-centered/healing caring based on practicing and honoring wholeness of mind- body-spirit in self and each other ? Inner harmony (equanimity)?maintaining balance ? Intention of ?doing? for another and ?being? with another who is in need (What (skills) you do and how (caring conscious intention) you do it.) ? ?Authentic Presence? (honoring/connecting human to human)
? Caring Occasion/Caring Moment: Heart-centered Encounters with another person When two people, each with their own ?phenomenal field?/background come together in a human-to-human transaction that is meaningful, authentic, intentional, honoring the person, and sharing human experience that expands each person?s worldview and spirit leading to new discovery of self and other and new life possibilities.
? Multiple ways of knowing (through science, art, aesthetic, ethical, intuitive, personal, cultural, spiritual)
? Reflective/meditative approach (increasing consciousness and presence to the humanism of self and other) (see Cara, C. (2003). A Pragmatic View of Jean Watson?s Caring Theory, www.humancaring.org (under ?continuing education) ? Understanding self through reflection/meditation (journaling, the arts, meditation, etc.) o What is the meaning of caring for the person/families/myself? o How do I express my caring consciousness and commitment to my patients/clients? To colleagues? To the institution? To the community and larger world? o How do I define self, nurse, person, environment, health/healing, and nursing? o How do I make a difference in people?s life and suffering? o How do I increase the quality of people?s healing and dying process? o How can I be informed by the clinical caritas processes in my practice? o How can I be inspired by Watson?s caring theory in my practice?

? Understanding the patient/client/family as a person: Inviting story (Tell me about yourself, your life experiences, your feelings, your bodily sensations, your goals and expectations, your culture, etc., so I may honor you and your healing pathway.) ? Understanding the patient/client?s health needs: o Tell me about your health? What is it like to be in your situation? o Tell me how you perceive yourself? What are your health priorities? o How do you envision your life? o What is the meaning of healing for you?
? Caring is inclusive, circular, and expansive: Caring for self, caring for each other, caring for patients/clients/families, caring for the environment/nature and the universe.
? Caring changes self, others, and the culture of groups/environments.
? Watson?s 10 Carative Factors redefined as Caritas Processes: Guidelines for putting Love/Heart-Centered Caring practice into action:
1. Practicing loving-kindness and equanimity within context of caring consciousness. 2. Being authentically present and enabling, and sustaining the deep belief system and subjective life world of self and one-being cared for. 3. Cultivating one?s own spiritual practices and transpersonal self, going beyond ego self. 4. Developing and sustaining a helping-trusting, authentic caring relationship. 5. Being present to, and supportive of the expression of positive and negative feelings. 6. Creatively using self and all ways of knowing as part of the caring process; engaging in artistry of caring-healing practices. 7. Engaging in genuine teaching-learning experience that attends to wholeness and meaning, attempting to stay within other?s frame of reference. 8. Creating healing environment at all levels, whereby wholeness, beauty, comfort, dignity, and peace are potentiated. 9. Assisting with basic needs, with an intentional caring consciousness, administering ?human care essentials,? which potentiate alignment of mind-body-spirit, wholeness in all aspects of care. 10. Opening and attending to mysterious dimensions of one?s life-death; soul care for self and the one-being-cared for; ?allowing and being open to miracles.?
