TRAUMATOLOGY POWERPOINT ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

This Professional APA style narrated Traumatology Power Point Assignment will present

content from a specific focus on a narrow portion of the knowledge gained from this course. This

presentation builds upon the knowledge gained in the course and is a portion of the series of

assignments that began with the Traumatology Topic, Traumatology Outline, Traumatology

Annotated Outline, and will conclude with a Traumatology Paper on this same topic. This series

of assignments is contemplated to help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of

deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more

than one modality. Since the dissertation proposal and dissertation final defense both require a

Power Point presentation, scholarly presentation on a topic of interest is a required skill for

doctoral learners.

In this PowerPoint presentation, learners will present on the topic and population of interest and

the feedback received from the assignments in the series (Traumatology Topic, Traumatology

Outline, and Traumatology Annotated Outline). The topic should be sufficiently narrowed and

focused on a specific population of interest. A scholarly approach to biblical integration is

required.

Instructions

Prepare a scholarly PowerPoint Presentation Assignment on this topic, intended for an

audience of emerging trauma counselors. Note: This presentation is intended for an audience of

emerging trauma counselors, so preparations for the discussion should not include lengthy

definitions of trauma or long excerpts from the DSM. Rather, this information should be focused

on emerging research on a topic in traumatology and focused on a particular population of

interest.

Each presentation should include:

 A Table of Contents or presentation outline, showing the contents of the PowerPoint,

including the 5 main Sections, discussed below, as well as a demonstration of the

organization that will be used throughout the presentation.

 Narration or Slide Notes

o The presentation should be narrated with audible narration; or

o The presentation should include the narration that could be read aloud to an

audience of emerging scholars to present the information.

 The PowerPoint should contain the following 5 Sections from the Outline Assignment.

Additional details are required, as stated below.

o Traumatology topic. This portion of the presentation should give the scholarly

audience a clear picture of the current state of the literature on the topic and a

clear rationale for the need to study the topic.

 Population, including relevance of studying the population of interest

with this topic. Number of estimated individuals in the population,

incidence rates of trauma or specific diagnosis or impact of the topic, and

other, relevant data to describe the population of interest in relation to the

topic should be presented in this section. Information regarding the

importance of studying the population of interest could include data

presenting the under-representation of the population in the data on the

topic, emerging research that demonstrates vulnerability in the population,

factors affecting sequalae, social justice issues, missions or global

humanitarian issues, treatment efficacy, and etc.

 At least 3 scholarly journal articles should be used to support this section.

Articles or publications should be no more than 3 years since publication.

(Sources can include the CDC, WHO, or other government organization.

Note: activism sites are not considered scholarly sources). Other,

appropriate sources, such as course texts, may also be included in addition

to the 3 required scholarly journal articles.

 Examples:

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on an event, the Population

data should include the country or region and population of interest

as well as specific population data that has been found as relevant

to that group’s experience of the event. The data should present the

rationale for studying the population of interest and this particular

event.

 If the PowerPoint is presented on a diagnosis, the data should the

incidence rates of the types or the frequency of diagnoses in a

specific population of interest. The presentation should include

scholarly information on the etiology of the diagnosis and any

specific presentations that are unique for members of the

population of interest. It is also appropriate to compare and

contrast diagnosis between 2 or more groups of individuals;

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a treatment, data should be

presented on efficacy of the treatment and populations the

treatment has been found to be efficacious with, why this treatment

should be considered with this population of interest or, if

applicable, why it has not been studied with this population thus

far.

 The discussion of the topic along with the importance of studying this

topic in the population of interest should be clearly organized throughout

the presentation. Note: this section may be largely driven by a research

interest, a personal interest, an activism or advocacy reason, or because of

a professional interest of the learner. If this is the case, this can be

presented in a scholarly way, including scholarly support for why this

population should be researched.

 At least 3 scholarly journal articles should be used to support this section.

Articles should be no more than 3 years since publication. Course texts

present with other populations. At least 2 scholarly journal articles should be used

to support this section. Articles should be no more than 3 years since publication.

 Examples:

the event and a scholarly rationale describing the harm specific to

individuals in your population of interest or compared to other

populations who experience the event.

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a diagnosis, the

presentation should include scholarly information on the diagnosis

as well as risk factors or research findings regarding comorbid

diagnoses or other marginalizing factors individuals from your

population of interest with this diagnosis may face.

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a treatment, the data

should support the efficacy of the treatment with the population of

interest, the indications and contraindications for the treatment, and

concerns that are common among individuals in your population of

interest who experience this type of event.

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a diagnosis, the data

presented should include Christian counseling or biblical

scholarship that discusses this topic or a similar one that has been

studied with your population of interest or with a population that

could serve as a rationale for considering diagnosis topics for your

population of interest. Treatments, including evidence based or

Christian accommodative practices for treating this diagnosis,

could be included in this section.

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a treatment, a strong

discussion of the evidence base for the use of Christian

accommodative approaches to treatment with your population of

interest should be presented. A strong emphasis on faith based or

Christian counseling research should be evident with preference

given to journal articles with evidence to support the use of

spiritually accommodative practices. If there are scholarly sources

to support the use of the specific treatment being studied in a

Christian or spiritually accommodated way with your population of

interest, that research should be clearly identified in the

presentation.

researchers are stating about what is still unknown about the issue

and what future researchers should focus on to better understand

the trauma experienced by individuals when they encounter this

event.

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a diagnosis, include

research regarding what researchers have yet to understand about

the diagnosis. Research on epigenetics, cultural or social issues,

criminal justice considerations, and other research found in

contemporary research findings in these emerging fields are

appropriate.

 If the PowerPoint will be presented on a treatment, the

presentation should organized to offer a perspective of what

elements of the treatment are still unknown or are still being

researched and what future researchers should consider as they

study this treatment modality.
