Search Strategy #2

Another search strategy to use in a premium database is to start with a keyword search (such as we used in the full-text database). Find one or two good articles; look at the subject terms that were used to describe those articles. Then do a search for other articles with those subject terms.

Let's start by doing the keyword search we used in the full-text database:

child* and nurse* and hospital* and (famil* or parent* or grandparent*) and care and (role or train* or collaborat* or educat*)

I've already entered the terms. Click on the "Search" button now to see our results in CINAHL.
