Strategies to find evidence-based articles:
See if there's an Evidence-based Care Sheet on your topic (Top green tool bar). Care sheets cover broad, general disease-related information, but if you have a more specific information need, these care sheets won't help you. You'll need to put the specifics of your patient or intervention into a search using the search boxes.

After you've done the initial search, you can use the "refine search" screen to find just evidence-based articles. Here are some ways to do that:

• Use Publication Type drop down menu. Select Clinical Trial or Systematic Review.
• Check Research Article checkbox.
• Check Evidence-based Practice checkbox.
• Use Special Interest drop down menu. Select Evidence-based Practice.

It is funded by NIH's Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research and aims to bring evidence-based practice to the behavioral and social sciences, a sector of health care that is a relative newcomer to EBM.

Best Bets
BETs were developed in the Emergency Department of Manchester Royal Infirmary, UK, to provide rapid evidence-based answers to real-life clinical questions, using a systematic approach to reviewing the literature. Although BETs initially had an emergency medicine focus, there are a significant number of BETs covering cardiothoracics, nursing, primary care and pediatrics. Search capability is not sophisticated, but if you happen to find a review on your topic, you can save yourself a lot of time.

The service is free for SFGH's DPH affiliates. Please call 415-206-3114 for details.


PubMed via UCSF
Contains nursing literature as well as literature from many other biomedical fields.
Use the nursing subset on the Limits page to restrict to nursing journals.
Many MeSH (medical subject headings) allow you to apply a /nursing subheading to get at nursing-related ideas.

“Clinical queries” makes it easy to find evidence-based information. (pre-formulated search filters for diagnosis, therapy, etiology and prognosis questions)

For full text access, use PubMed via a UCSF networked computer.
Freely available at www.pubmed.gov, but no full text, only abstracts when available.

Tutorial Good overview of features and functions. Takes a while (30-45 minutes) but is worth the trouble.

Evidence-based Practice at SFGH
Here's a small collection of online evidence-based practice resources. This site is in Wiki format and is accessbile on the open web at http://ebpsfgh.wetpaint.com. It was developed by Librarians Joy Graham and Terri Mason at SFGH's Barnett-Briggs Medical Library as a place to park helpful information, such as class handouts, and resource descriptions. We created it hoping that you would add content that you find helpful.

We've chosen the sites we think are most valuable and useful for nurses and other clinicians, but we've just begun and welcome your ideas for additions. If you'd like to add content yourself, please apply to be a writer.
