Learning Objectives • To provide a mechanism for nursing students to access the most current nursing and health care information • To familiarize nursing students with specific information resources and services to support the nursing curriculum • To familiarize nursing students with evidence-based nursing and lifelong learning skills
Overview of Online Resources • Research and Clinical Databases • e-Journals • e-Books • Consumer Health • Evidence-Based Information Retrieval
Journal Article Databases • CINAHL Plus w/Full Text, Nursing@Ovid, and Mosby’s Nursing Consult are most frequently used resources to find journal articles on nursing topics. • Search this section when you need articles on subjects, e.g., electronic medical record, nursing education, pressure ulcer, etc. • Databases in this section provide links to full text journal articles and other resources • You must start at the library’s Nursing web page to access our subscribed full text http://library.nsuok.edu/collegesh/healthpr/nursing/index.html

Match Resource to Information Need • What is the question? • How will information be used?
Background vs. Foreground Questions • Asking questions about your proposed topic helps to clarify your knowledge gap • Clarifying type of question helps to determine which sources are most likely to have the answers you need
Background Questions • Generally ask who, what, why, where or how about a single concept
Proposed Research Projects • Evaluate the effectiveness of nursing residency programs • Use of mentoring in nursing education to improve retention of nursing faculty
Background Questions • What are methods of evaluating nursing residency programs? • How do mentoring relationships clarify roles experienced by novice nursing faculty?
Answers to Background Questions • Require general knowledge of conceptsand processes • Resources: • Nursing@Ovid • CINAHL Plus w/Full Text • e-Book Collections • Print Books
Information Retrieval to conduct Research • Comprehensive in scope and time • All levels of resources • Current and Retrospective • Background and Foreground Information
Foreground Questions • Usually compare two or more concepts – theories, drugs, treatments, tests, harms or benefits of two approaches
Answers to Foreground Questions • Require precise information about complex issues • Sources should provide current, original clinical research data • Evidence-based resources – begin search at the top levels of the 4S Hierarchy
Evidence Based Databases – Critically Appraised Decision Support Tools • DynaMed – Expert summaries for over 3,000 topics to answer clinical questions at point of care. Based on studies evaluated for clinical relevance and validity. Updated daily • Cochrane Systematic Reviews – Over 900 full text reviews of research studies based on specific quality criteria and produced by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international network of researchers • Joanna Briggs Institute – International research organization provides full text of expert summaries, best practice information sheets, systematic reviews, and consumer information sheets
Information Retrieval for Evidence Based Nursing Care • Using research findings versus conducting research • Retrieving and evaluating information that has direct application to specific patient care problems • Selecting resources that are current, valid and available at point-of-care • Developing search strategies that are feasible within time constraints of clinical practice

“Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” Sackett DL, Rosenberg WMC, Gray JAM, Haynes RB, Richardson WS: Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn’t. BMJ 1996;312:71-2. Patient Concerns Best research evidence Clinical Expertise EBM What is EBM?
EBM Process – 5 Steps • ASSESS - Begin with the patient encounter • ASK - clinical questions that address important patient problems • ACQUIRE - the best evidence to answer the questions (Use 4S Approach) • APPRAISE - Evaluate the evidence for validity, importance, and usefulness • APPLY - Does the evidence “fit” your patient’s specific problems and needs? Practice the EBM process in daily patient encounters
Information Retrieval to Answer Clinical Questions Requires New Skills • Clinical question formulation • Search and retrieval of best evidence • Critical appraisal of study methods
Clinical Questions • Four common types: • Therapy/prevention • Diagnosis • Etiology • Prognosis
Answerable Questions • Select Questions That: • Are most important to the patient’s well being • Fill gaps in your clinical knowledge • Are feasible to answer in the time available
Is All Evidence Created Equal? • Small portion of medical literature is immediately useful to answer clinical questions • Understanding “wedge or pyramid of evidence” is helpful in finding highest level of evidence • High levels of evidence may not exist for all questions due to nature of medical problems and research limitations
As you move up the pyramid the amount of available literature decreases, but it increases in its relevance to the clinical setting.

Evidence Based Retrieval • Find the answer that is supported by valid studies appropriate to the type of question and that is available in a timely manner • Requires search terms plus best study design for question plus highest level of evidence
Therapy/Prevention Question • Are drug regimens effective in managing or preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea or vomiting in cancer patients? • Are foam overlays versus standard hospital foam mattresses effective in preventing pressure ulcers? • Find the answer that is supported by valid studies, appropriate to the type of question, and that is available in a timely manner.
1. Possible Search Terms • Chemotherapy, nausea, vomiting • Pressure ulcer, foam, overlay, mattress
Dynamed • Summaries for more than 3,000 topics • Monitors >500 medical journals and systematic review databases • Updated daily • Each article evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity • Recommendations labeled with Levels of Evidence
Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) • an international, not-for-profit research organization at the University of Adelaide • collaborates internationally with over 70 entities to promote synthesis and transfer of evidence • contributes to improving health care outcomes by supporting evidence-based practice
