  1. Literature Searching: Nursing Administration Min-Lin Fang, MLIS Education and Information Consultant for Nursing and Social and Behavioral Sciences

  2. Objectives At the end of lecture, you will be able to • Find an article quickly • Develop search strategies and conduct efficient PubMed searches • Select appropriate databases • Identify MeSH(s) and use MeSH(s) to run PubMed searches • Use subheadings, major concepts and limit options to refine searches • Save searches and set up an automatic updates • Conduct simple searches in CINAHL, PsycINFO, SocAbstracts

  3. Online Tutorials • PubMed Search Guide http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/pubmed.html (NLM) • Literature Searching Guide for Nursing Students http://www.library.ucsf.edu/edtech/class/handouts/litsearch.pdf (Fang) • CSA PsycINFO, SocAbstracts online tutorials http://www-md3.csa.com/tutorials/advsearch.html • CINAHL, Basic and Advanced

  4. Special URL: http://www.library.ucsf.edu/db/pubmed/ UC-eLinks Links to UCSF full text journals Check whether UCSF owns a journal Check all UC libraries collection using Melvyl Request articles not owned by UCSF from other UC campuses Copy and Paste citations Online Help:UC-eLinks QuickGuide PubMed @UCSF

  5. Quick Way to Find an Article in PubMed - 1 • Enter the PMID number. Reed PG.The dialogue within nursing theory-guided practice: a frontier of knowledge and development. Nurs Sci Q. 2006 Oct;19(4):328-9. PMID: 17034071 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

  6. Quick Way to Find an Article in PubMed - 2

  7. Databases • UptoDate • PubMed@UCSF (PubMed online tutorial by NLM) • CINAHL (Basics, Advanced Search tutorial) • PsycINFO (CSA) (Quick Guide) • SocAbstracts (CSA) • PAIS • Web of Science (Find who has cited these articles, when you retrieved few citations from other databases.) • Management & Organization Studies: A SAGE Full-Text Collection  • Medical Economics: PubMed@UCSF, CINAHL, Business Source Premier, EconLit • NOTE: Nursing Subject Guide: http://www.library.ucsf.edu/collres/reflinks/nursing/

  8. Management & Organization Studies: A SAGE Full-Text Collection • 1947-Current Browse Full Text • Organizations studies, management, business, human resource, marketing, public policy, public administration, industrial relations

  9. Developing Search Strategies • Formulate a question. • Break your question into multiple concepts. • Locate the appropriate MeSH (indexed term) for each concept. • Run the search using AND, OR, NOT • Apply limit options (date, language, age, publication type, gender), major headings and subheadings • Modify your search strategies and rerun your search.

  10. Boolean Operators (upper case) • AND Combine different concepts to narrow your search. aged AND women  aged women • OR Broaden your search to include similar concepts. HIV OR AIDS  AIDS patients • NOT Exclude a concept AIDS NOT hearing aids  AIDS patients

  11. Why Use MeSH (Indexed Term)? • MeSH terms (indexed terms) are an efficient way to find articles on “concepts” where authors may use different words to discuss the same ideas. • Using MeSH improves precision and accuracy of subject searching. • Keyword search (title, MeSH, abstract) may not retrieve relevant articles. Example: physical therapy “Storytelling as therapy: implications for medicine.” Abstract: Storytelling is an art developed during the beginning of human history, probably to teach the wisdom of generations past, including basic mental and physical health principles…

  12. When to use Keyword search? • New studies not yet indexed e.g. PubMed – in process PubMed – as supplied by publisher Do a keyword search and limit search results for the past one year. search sample: Obesity policy

  13. Locating MeSH • Do a keyword search. Click on “Details” to see the assigned MeSH. OR • Do a title word search e.g. nursing theory [ti] Display citations in Citation format to locate MeSH OR • Search the MeSH database • Scope Note • Subheadings • Major Topics • Explode

  14. MyNCBI (Save Search, Updates) • Create a free MyNCBI account • Save search strategies • Set user preferences – highlight search words in your retrieval.

  15. Search Exercises • 1. Nurses’ job satisfaction • 2. Nursing recruitment/retention • 3. Patient safety • 4. Prevention of burnout among nurses aids who work in long term care setting • 5. Health care access for Asian Americans

  16. Managing Citations APA Style • APA Formatting and Style Guide (Purdue Univ.) • APA Style Tips (APA) • Publication manual of the American Psychological Association 5th ed. (Reference book, Library, MB, SFGH) BF76.7 .A46 2001 RefWorks • a FREE web-Based citation management tool • Check the class schedule and reserve a space for the RefWorks class. • EndNote vs RefWorks
