Welcome to the Hoffman Family Library research guide for the CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health) database.
A few things to keep in mind about this guide:
Citations and abstracts of scholarly, peer-reviewed articles and professional association news and information for thousands of publications. Most comprehensive nursing and allied health database. CINAHL covers nursing, biomedicine, alternative/complementary medicine, consumer health and 17 allied health disciplines.
CINAHL Complete is the world's most comprehensive source of full text for nursing & allied health journals.
Additional materials include more than 130 Evidence-Based Care Sheets and nearly 170 Quick Lessons which provide concise overviews of diseases and conditions and outline the most effective treatment options.
Why use CINAHL?
1. Results are automatically limited to nursing-related resources
2. Fewer results to skim through when compared to searching the open web
3. Built-in tools that help you narrow your search results
