    Study Notes

    • Use patient or problem characteristics as limits in research searches, such as age, gender, etc.

    • Construct search strategies using connector words (Boolean operators) in research databases: "and," "or," "not."

    • Use "and" connector when all search terms are required.

    • Use "or" connector to include synonyms or additional terms for the same word.

    • Use "not" connector to exclude a term and eliminate irrelevant items.

    • Utilize various clinical information resources for literature on evidence-based practice.

    • Research Databases: PubMed (free access, 21 million citations), CINAHL (subscription database).

    • Systematic reviews: Cochrane Library, PubMed Clinical Queries, EAL (Academy's).

    • Practice guidelines: National Guideline Clearinghouse, professional organizations.

    • Evidence-Based Journals: Example: Evidence-Based Medicine (subscription), Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (free).

    • Point-of-care information products: UpToDate, First Consult, ACP PIER, DynaMed, Clinical Evidence.

    • Five steps for Evidence-Based Practice: Ask a focused clinical question, Search for the best research evidence, Appraise the quality of the research evidence, Integrate the research evidence, Reflect on the process to improve.

    • Critically appraise the evidence using clinical expertise, patient values, and best research evidence.

    • Use available tools to assist in critically appraising the evidence.
