The correct identification and use of research is essential in achieving successful outcomes in nursing practice. The capability to obtain data and appraise the peer-reviewed articles appropriately in a scholarly is critical in supporting the potential and confidence in students to create and blend complicated assignments that the capstone projects focus on. The current literature evaluation table seeks to identify and synthesize synthesis peer-reviewed articles on the significance of patient education throughout their hospital stay and their understanding of it before and after discharge on a medical-surgical floor.
The PICOT Question
In patients admitted to a medical-surgical floor (P) does patient education throughout the hospital stay and after discharge (I) compared to lack of education (C) improve health outcomes (O) in 12 months (T).

| Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)
|
Does the perioperative education with an expected discharge date (EDD) reduce the length of stay
(LOS)? |
Implicit: Does Preoperative patient counseling help in making the patient a potentially active participant and the main character of his/her recovery and enable them to positively impact themselves throughout the surgical and healing process?
|
Hypothesis: Effective leadership is highly valued component of healthcare education, increasingly recognised as essential to the delivery of high standards of education, research and clinical practice | Why educating patients prior to surgery is essential and how? who should provide patient education? |
| Purposes/Aim of Study | To investigate possible reduction of length of stay
(LOS) by perioperative education with an expected discharge date (EDD)
|
To evaluate patient information and care-plans in thoracic surgery, reviewing the available evidence on ERAS pathways, and demonstrating our ideal program as discussed and shared among the Italian Thoracic Surgery Units accredited in the video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) group. | To delve into the current theories of leadership and to explore leadership skills and roles within the context of healthcare education. | To determine why educating patients prior to surgery is essential and how and by whom it should be undertaken. |
