I have begun my searches by utilizing the library that Purdue Global provides. The first database I have been using to assist me with my PICOT question is CINAHL, which is hosted by EBSCO. CINAHL search feature can be used as a basic or an advanced search. The basic search provides one search box to enter any word(s) that can be found in books, journals, and more. Once they are typed in, all you do is click search. However, I have been utilizing the advanced search feature, which has three search boxes you can utilize. Each search box can include terms you want to find, terms that you would like to find either one OR another, and you can enter terms that you would like excluded from the search. You can further refine your search by language, years range published, full text vs abstract only. There are more options in the advanced search, but these are the ones I utilized the most. CINAHL is a great database because it centers mostly on nursing and allied health disciplines (EBSCO, n.d).
PubMed has been the second database that I have used. PubMed is less specific to nursing but more specific to biomedical literature. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine (2023), PubMed contains over 36 million citations and abstracts. One of its limitations is that it does not always have the full text. However, oftentimes, it will have a link to the publisher’s web page to find the full article easily. PubMed does have a very simple search. You type in your key phrases in your search box (only one search box is provided), and then you press enter. PubMed s is a hierarchical structure, where searching for one term will have every term associated with that term listed like a “tree structure” (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023).
