This assignment focuses on evidence-based practice for improving pain management in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). It addresses the use of non-pharmacological methods, specifically music therapy, as an adjunct to pain medication to increase patient satisfaction. The assignment develops a research question using the PICO(T) framework, outlining the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and timeframe. It identifies CINAHL and MEDLINE as relevant databases for literature search and details a search strategy using subject headings and Boolean operators. The aim is to gather evidence supporting the effectiveness of music therapy in enhancing patient satisfaction within the PACU setting, ultimately contributing to improved pain management practices.
