PICOT: In adult patients undergoing surgery using general anesthesia or regional anesthesia,
do active warming strategies prior to the anesthesia ready time compared to warming strategies initiated after anesthesia ready time decrease incidence of hypothermia during intraoperative period throughout PACU stay?

This assignment requires the student to identify, retrieve, summarize, and synthesize relevant literature focused on a specific clinical question (PICO) or project purpose agreed upon with Faculty and the immersion mentor. The assignment must use AMA format and should include a DNP Project Title, PICO question or Purpose, Problem Statement, and References. This document will be used to support the beginning of the DNP Project development. 

DNP Project Title: Identify a title that incorporates key components of the PICO Question or Purpose. The title should not include more than 80 characters. The title will often be revised prior to the Approval Meeting (Deliverable 5).

PICO Question or Purpose: A format used to guide the development of the DNP Project is the formulation of a PICO clinical question (population, intervention, comparison and outcome) or purpose. Most often the PICO question or purpose will be revised and refined by the evidence and discussions with the DNP Project Team.

Problem Statement: There are a number of resources available to guide the development of a succinct problem statement (see Moran et al., 2020, pgs. 133-135, 282-283). Please address the following six components in developing the Problem Statement:

"1. Problem identification: What is wrong with the current situation?

  2. Background: What is the nature of the problem, the context of the situation that readers need to understand?

  3. Scope of the problem: How big a problem is it; how many people are affected?

  4. Consequences of the problem: What is the cost of not fixing the problem?

  5. Knowledge gaps: What information about the problem is lacking?

  6. Proposal solution: What is the basis for believing that the proposed study would contribute to the solution of the problem?” (Polit & Beck, 2008, pg. 92).
