Evidence-Based Practice: Bibliographic Search Stage

• The bibliography search is the second stage of evidence-based practice.
• Various interests drive the need for information searches, including project development, intervention design, and systematic reviews.

Phases of the Search Process

• Search Strategy: Includes defining terms, combining them, and choosing where to search, consisting of seven steps:

  • Identify the information need by formulating a precise, yet not overly specific research question.
  • Identify key concepts from the research question to guide the search.
  • Develop search terms, translating concepts into either free language or controlled vocabulary.
  • Combine terms using Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT.
  • Use additional operators (e.g., truncations, wildcards) to refine search scope.
  • Set limits (e.g., publication date, document type, population) for search results.
  • Choose appropriate search tools for the research question.

• Executing the Search: Implement the defined search strategy using selected tools.

• Evaluating and Selecting Results: Assess the relevance and pertinence of retrieved results, reformulating searches if needed.

Defining Information Needs

• Formulate research questions based on practical professional needs to ensure relevant information is retrieved.
• Use the PICO method to structure questions, focusing on:
  • P: Patient/Problem
  • I: Intervention
  • C: Comparison intervention
  • O: Outcomes to evaluate

Identifying Concepts and Search Terms

• Translate identified concepts into varied search terms to enhance information retrieval.
• Flexibility in terminology is vital to gather diverse data points.
• Use resources like synonym dictionaries and controlled vocabulary thesaurus specific to health sciences (e.g., DeCS, MeSH).

Combining Search Terms

• Boolean logic is utilized for term combinations:
  • AND retrieves all terms.
  • OR retrieves any term (useful for synonyms).
  • NOT excludes specific terms.
• Employ parentheses to structure complex searches, ensuring correct operability.

Utilizing Additional Operators

• Truncation: Allows retrieval of words with shared roots; typically represented by an asterisk (*).
• Wildcards: Substitute characters in words, varying by tool (e.g., ?, #).
• Quotation Marks: Used for exact phrase searches (e.g., "adverse effects").

Setting Search Limits

• Available filters may include:
  • Document type (e.g., articles, theses).
  • Language.
  • Geographic region.
  • Publication date.
  • Population demographics.

Choosing Search Tools

• Select information sources based on the search type and specific requirements.
• Categories of scientific search tools include:
  • Library Catalogs: Locate physical and electronic library holdings.
  • Databases: Provide quality-reviewed scientific articles.
  • Academic Search Engines: Filter results from academic institutions.

Evaluating Search Results

• Evaluate whether results meet information needs, ensuring relevance and completeness.
• Reformulate strategies as necessary based on the quantity and quality of results gathered.
• Tips for improving search results:
  • Specify terms to narrow results with AND/NOT and phrase searches.
  • Expand searches with OR, broader terms, and truncations if results are lacking.
