- 5. Evidence Based Practice • What is EBP? – Most commonly cited definition is “the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.” – Sackett, D.L., Rosenberg, W.M.C., Gray, J.A.M., Haynes, R.B., & Richardson, W.S. (1996, January 13). Evidence-based medicine: what it is and what it isn’t. BMJ, 312(71). Retrieved from http://www.bmj.com/content/312/7023/71.full
- 6. Evidence Based Practice The EBP Cycle • Identifying a clinical problem • Formulating a focused, answerable question • Locating relevant and appropriate resources • Searching for information • Critically appraising the information • Implementation in clinical practice
- 7. What is Evidence? Systematic Hierarchy of Research Evidence Hierarchy of Research Evidence Reviews Meta-Analyses Critical Appraisal Randomized Controlled Trials Cohort and case-controlled studies Consensus Statements Anecdotal Information
- 8. Search Strategy • Form a clinical question – Must be focused and answerable NOT What are therapies for depression? INSTEAD Does exercise reduce depressive symptoms in women?
- 9. Form a Clinical Question PICO framework: P – patient/problem I – intervention C – comparison O – outcome
- 10. Form a Clinical Question Does exercise reduce depressive symptoms in women? P – women with depression (age group?) I – exercise (how strenuous? how often?) C – medication O – symptom reduction, quality of life
- 11. Boolean Operators AND – both terms must be present (will narrow a search) OR – either term is present (will broaden a search) NOT – only first term is present (will exclude terms)
- 12. Boolean Operators • exercise AND depression – will retrieve articles with both words • zoloft OR sertraline – will retrieve articles with either word • exercise NOT running – will retrieve articles with exercise and exclude those with running
- 13. Field Searching
- 14. Subject Headings • Specific words or phrases selected from a controlled vocabulary that describe a work – MEDLINE = MeSH – CINAHL = CINAHL Headings
- 15. Limiters • Parameters for your search – MEDLINE limiters include: • Age group • Publication type • Language • Dates

Editor's Notes
- #3: Library is housed in Aunt Hattie’s BarnMost resources are online
- #4: The library website is your gateway to our online resourcesLibrary 101 is a tutorial on information literacy and using our libraryShould already be enrolled and will stay enrolled so you can consult at any timeExcellent review
- #5: We want to talk mainly today about searching for evidence – search strategies to use in evidence based practiceWe wrote a chapter in Best Practices in Midwifery about using evidence and this presentation follows that chapter outlineThis is a word cloud of the chapter
- #6: Most commonly cited definition from seminal article in BMJ
- #7: EBP cycle – we come in mostly in 3 and 4
- #8: Evidence Hierarchy – best evidence on topSystematic Reviews – an overview of all primary studies on a topic; “interrogating the literature”Meta-analyses – combine statistical data from individual studies and recalculateCritical appraisal – summaries to answer specific clinical questions – often found in point of care toolsRCTs – patients/subjects assigned to either receive treatment or serve as a control; other variables do not come into playCohort and case-controlled studies – compare two groups (one with condition or intervention, one without); cohort follows the groups over time, case control looks at historiesConsensus statements – guidelines from respected authorities (professional organizations)Anecdotal information – least reliable since it cannot be verified, but uses experience
- #14: Field – individual piece of information within a record
- #19: Older JBI stuff in ProQuest; evaluating JBI database from OVID
- #21: These are the ones we have – there are others
- #23: Zach will demo RefWorks
- #24: Most important resource…Once you pick your topic, talk to us before starting lit reviewWe can discuss subject headings and keywords, resources; brainstorm search strategies, etc.
