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.
