Hi everyone!

I'm still trying to understand the concept of how to implement a DNP project. If my project were about OR traffic and surgical site infections, would I be conducting original research? Or, would I be researching the literature that is already available regarding the subject and making recommendations at my clinical site? I am just beginning a Master's program but have been looking into continuing my education in the future.

Thanks

It could be either one. You would have to start with a thorough review of the literature for original research and/or to make recommendations based on the literature.

The easiest way IMO to do this would be to review the literature. Then do a small QI project at your place of work to see if the trend in the literature was consistent with your place of work, and then after that you could make recommendations at work based on the current literature and make it applicable to your work settings.

Since it would be a QI project at work you wouldn't need any IRB approval unless you later decided to publish the results.
