studies on post op pain management using the PICOT method

Answer

Thank you for contacting the Argosy University Library.

To locate articles on "post operative pain management using the PICOT method", I recommend performing a search using the Library Search box located at the bottom of the Argosy University Library homepage.

Below are some suggested search terms:

  • “pain management" 
  • "post operative" OR "post surgery" OR surgery

When typing in your search terms, I recommend enclosing them in quotation marks. This will ensure that the terms will be interpreted as phrases.

If you find that the number of results you retrieve are overwhelming, another option is to search in one database that covers multiple disciplines. Academic Search Complete or ProQuest Central are two such databases. Click the Find Articles and More button from the library homepage to locate the links to these two resources.

As for the PICOT method, are you referring to the PICOT framework for clinical foreground questions? If so, this is a way in which you would create a clinical foreground question and is not a particular type of pain management method. I would exclude this from the search strategy. If you are referring to something else called a PICOT method, you can add that in with the suggested search terms I've provided.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Best,

Argosy University Library
