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] 5 Quick Way to Find an Article in PubMed - 2 6 Databases       UptoDate PubMed@UCSF (PubMed online tutorial by NLM) CINAHL (Basics, Advanced Search tutorial) PsycINFO (Quick Guide) , PsycARTICLES, Sage (CSA) SocAbstracts , Social Services (CSA) Science Citation Index (Find who has cited these articles, when you retrieved few citations from other databases.)

Break your question into multiple concepts. Locate the appropriate MeSH (index 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. 9 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 10 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… 11 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 few months. search sample: management of schizophrenia 12 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 1. Scope Note 2.

Index terms: Use MeSH terms and Nursing-specific headings. 15 PsycINFO  Produced by the American Psychological Association (APA)  Available through the CSA Illumina interface at the University of California, along with PsycARTICLES and Psychology: Sage Full-Text. 16 Coverage  Includes over 1,800 professional journals, chapters, books, reports, theses and dissertations, published internationally.
