title: Techniques for searching the CINAHL database using the EBSCO interface.
abstract: The cumulative index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) is a useful research tool for accessing articles of interest to nurses and health care professionals. More than 2,800 journals are indexed by CINAHL and can be searched easily using assigned subject headings. Detailed instructions about conducting, combining, and saving searches in CINAHL are provided in this article. Establishing an account at EBSCO further allows a nurse to save references and searches and to receive e-mail alerts when new articles on a topic of interest are published.
