The database can match your search terms/key words with many different fields and can yield numerous results. This link and video can help you with your basic search.

CINAHL DO ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING, AS APPROPRIATE

• Check the box beside Evidence-Based Practice.
• Select the Special Interest Group of Evidence-Based Practice.
• Select a Publication Type of Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, Meta-Synthesis, Practice Guidelines, or Randomized Controlled Trials.

This logic is used in search fields in databases. Each database is different, but most adhere to this logic in the same or similar ways.
