Dr Lauren Kearney
A Contemporary analysis of Queensland Rural Generalist Obstetric Units
Description of topics covered in
research presentation
The presentation is about a research on midwifery and nursing. A background on
what prompted the study has also been discussed in addition to how the
presenter changed from nursing to research. The specific topics covered in the
presentation and using the article by Lindstrom et al. (2018) as a guide include:
background and literature review, how to answer research questions (research
design, population and data collection) and conclusion.
Reflection on presentation and
its application to your future
practice
The presentation is a guide on how to conduct research and the use of an
already researched article as an example makes it easy to understand and
develop interest in research. I can use the guidelines in the presentation in

Dr Ann Framp
A narrative Inquiry into the experiences of one family’s predisposition
to hereditary diffuse gastric cancer
Description of topics covered in
research presentation
The presentation is about the importance of the study by Ann Framp and its
contribution to the existing knowledge on genetically inheritable diseases.
Ethical considerations have also been analysed based on the treaty of Waitangi.
The methodology used was a narrative inquiry and it is appropriate for human
studies
Reflection on presentation and
its application to your future
practice
The study is important because it contributes to existing knowledge about
genetically inheritable diseases. Gastric cancer is hereditary and there are 80%
chance of developing the disease in the entire life time at an onset age of 37
years. Furthermore, the treaty of Waitangi is appropriate for human studies. I

can use narrative inquiry in the future when carrying out a project dealing with
sensitive human experiences because it allows the recreation and representation
of meaningful stories.
