Techniques for Searching the CINAHL Database Using the EBSCO Interface

- THE CUMULATIVE INDEX to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) is a useful research tool for accessing articles of interest to nurses and health care professionals.
- MORE THAN 2,800 JOURNALS are indexed by CINAHL and can be searched easily using assigned subject headings.
- DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS about conducting, combining, and saving searches in CINAHL are provided in this article.
- ESTABLISHING AN ACCOUNT at EBSCO further allows a nurse to save references and searches and to receive e-mail alerts when new articles on a topic of interest are published. AORN J 85 (April 2007) 779-791.
