Searching Cinahl using EbscoHost [28 min. video]
A few notes :
- We do not recommend limiting to Full-Text within the CinahlFT Database because it does not consider the fulltext we offer through our other Library sources.
- At present, Ascension Wisconsin subscribes to Cinahl-FT. The video mentions the Cinahl Ultimate, Cinahl-Complete and CinahlPlus Databases. The basic search techniques for each version are the same.
- The video mentions Evidence-based Care Sheets and Quick Lessons in the video. These are premium content included in other versions of CINAHL and are not available or limit-able options in CinahlFT. That said, Ascension associates may access this content through NRC Plus.
Peer Review - CinahlFT
The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) features a Peer Reviewed filter.
You can limit your search from the advanced search screen by checking the "Peer Review" box under the Filters Tab [See below ...].
Evidence-Based Practice and Research Filters in the NEW CinahlFT
The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) offers filters for evidence-based practice and research. They are a little tricky to find in the new Ebscohost interface.
> Run your search as usual in basic or advanced mode.
> When you are ready to apply additional limits (beyond fulltext or peer reviewed), click on Advanced Search [highlighted in yellow above.]
> Under the Filters Tab, you'll see additional limits and filters to hone your search results.
The most common filters appear at the top. The most often used fiilters are Evidence-based Practice, Research, Inpatient, English language. But the list is quite long, and may be worth exploring beyond the snippet below.
Note: We recommend NOT using the fulltext limit because it only limits to the fulltext available in the Cinahl database, and would miss all the other fulltext we offer.
