MODEL ANSWER

Problem Statement and Research Topic

Research Topic

Decrease the patient’s preoperative stress level

Significance

           The research topic is significant as it seeks to investigate and determine the preoperative anxiety prevalence, and its predictors, especially among adult patients that are scheduled or awaiting elective | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | topic would facilitate a better understanding of important factors associated with the prevalence rate of anxiety such as the presence of strong family or social support, unexpected operation results, nursing errors or mistakes, and blood transfusion needs (Ahmetovic-Djug et al., 2017).

As an OR-RN nurse, the research topic would be crucial in determining the effect of operative visits on the levels of patient stress and anxiety before undergoing | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | would ensure the information gathered would be beneficial for OR-RNs to establish causes of stress such as the fear of the unknown following the impending surgery, fear of OR environment, anesthesia phobia, and possible complications (Bedaso & Ayalew, 2019).

PICOT Statement

• Do surgical patients (P) in perioperative setting subjected to higher doses of anesthetic induction agents (I) experience less anxiety preoperatively compared to the same amounts postoperatively (C) within a 24-hour timeframe (T)?

Problem Statement

• Patients with high-stress levels require higher amounts of anesthetic induction agents and recover poorly. 
• Patients admitted awaiting surgery experience anxiety that greatly influences surgery outcomes potentially resulting in increased heart rate and hypertension (Ahmetovic-Djug et al., 2017).
• All surgical patients are exposed to stress pre-, intra-, and post-operatively, thus the need to determine the presence and level of preoperative stress, as well as determine the presence of hemodynamic parameters, and the importance of anesthetic doses during induction (Bedaso & Ayalew, 2019).
