Student Conference of ÚZV
12. March 2024On 28 November 2023, a professional student conference focused on the creation of educational materials for both professional and general audiences took place at the faculty.
The conference was organised by students of healthcare study programmes under the leadership of the Director of the Institute of Health Sciences (ÚZV), Věra Vránová, PhD. Students of healthcare disciplines, together with students from the Graphic Design studio (Faculty of Multimedia Communications), developed materials for patients and professionals as part of the subjects Health Literacy, Pedagogy, and Education in Nursing. The aim of the conference was to allow students to deepen their presentation skills and share the experiences they gained during the development of these materials. A valuable part of the experience was the opportunity to receive feedback from educators and professionals. The best outputs, some of which have already attracted the interest of healthcare institutions, will gradually be refined for potential use.
The conference took place from 12:00 to 15:00 in two sessions. Sponsors of this year’s student conference included T. Bata Regional Hospital, Uherské Hradiště Hospital, Vaše laboratoře s.r.o., and, of course, Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín.
During the first session, projects presented included Scar Care After Caesarean Section, Nurse in Your Pocket, Handbook for Adolescent Boys, and Cardioversion. The second session featured presentations on topics such as Pre- and Post-Birth Arrangements, Alopecia, Reproductive Education for Girls, and When a Child Has Laryngitis. At the end of each session, a live discussion took place.
At the conclusion of the conference, a panel composed of academic staff Věra Vránová, PhD; Jitka Hůsková, PhD; Petr Zemánek, PhD, and the esteemed guest Kamila Slabáková, Deputy for Nursing Care at T. Bata Regional Hospital, evaluated the materials presented. The highest-rated materials were Reproductive Education for Girls, When a Child Has Laryngitis, and Scar Care After Caesarean Section.
We extend our gratitude to all FHS students who actively participated and presented their projects, to all educators, sponsors, and faculty leadership for supporting the students in organising the conference, as well as to all guests and professionals who accepted our invitation.
