Here is a brief video on how to search the CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) database via the EBSCOhost platform, using subject headings. Included are explanations of how to utilize the “major concept” option and how to view the scope note (usually a definition of the term), as well as the hierarchical display of the subject terms. Selecting subheadings to refine the search strategy is demonstrated and the ability to search by keywords in addition to subject headings is explained. The video is under 6 minutes long.
