CINAHL-Basic Searching
This tutorial demonstrates the basic searching features of the suite of CINAHL databases on the new EBSCOhost interface.
Note: For the Classic version of the interface, please see: CINAHL Databases - Basic Searching Tutorial (Classic EBSCOhost)
CINAHL has a feature called Quick Lessons. Quick Lessons are 2-page fact sheets that provide general background information on almost 200 topics.
Each Quick Lesson includes information on the topic's description/etiology, facts and statistics, risk factors, symptoms and clinical presentation, assessment, treatment goals, and more, as well as a list of references that provide further information.
While the Quick Lessons are written, edited, and reviewed by RNs, they are published by CINAHL Information Systems, so they are not considered journal articles. Use these for background information and helpful references.
You can find the link to Quick Lessons under the More menu at the top of the CINAHL search screen:
