Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), is a large collection of nursing and allied health journals that provides some full text access. Additional materials include evidence-based care sheets and quick lessons which provide concise overviews of diseases and conditions and outline the most effective treatment options.
Use the options on the advanced search page to limit your results to evidence-based medicine articles.
Search limiters to consider:
Do not use all three of these options and publication type limiters at once as no articles will match ALL of these criteria. It is better to try each of these options in separate searches. You can however, choose multiple options inside a box such as the Publication Type box.
CINAHL includes a set of updated Evidence-Based Care Sheets (1-2 pages in length). These sheets list care methods and the evidence upon which this care is based.
Once you have opened the CINAHL database, look at the blue navigation bar at the very top of the screen and click Evidence-Based Care Sheets.
