11. Learning Objectives To provide a mechanism for students to access the most current occupational therapy and health related information To familiarize students with specific information resources and services to support the occupational therapy curriculum To familiarize OT students with evidence-based health care and lifelong learning skills 11

12. Overview of Online Resources Research and Clinical Databases e-Journals e-Books Consumer Health Evidence-Based Summaries 12

13. Journal Article Databases Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus w/Full Text, and Mosby’s Nursing Consult are most frequently used resources to find journal articles on OT topics. Search this section when you need articles on subjects, e.g., stroke, hand splinting, pressure ulcer Databases in this section provide links to full text journal articles and other resources You must start at the library’s OT web page to access our subscribed full text 13

14. Databases – Ovid MEDLINE Premier biomedical database from the National Library of Medicine Provides journal articles in over 5,000 journals from 1946 to present in medicine, nursing, health care system, and allied health care practice, education, and research Hints:  Search the Daily Update, and In-Process segments simultaneously with desired range of years  Search keywords along with subject headings 14

15. Use MEDLINE to locate Articles that report results of primary (original) studies Conclusions supported by data and reproducible methodology Ovid MEDLINE contains full text of many OT and rehabilitation journals

16. Databases - CINAHL Plus w/Full Text CINAHL stands for Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature Core research tool that contains articles in 770 journals with full text of many of nursing and allied health journals Use “CINAHL Headings” to search topics for best results, e.g., search “pediatric occupational therapy” for occupational therapy with children Use CINAHL to locate overviews and articles in related allied health care fields 16

17. Databases – Mosby’s Nursing Consult All in one resource provides full text of e-Journals, e- Books, images, and other documents Unique features include full text from pre-searches of popular health topics (top picks), full text monographs of all FDA approved drugs, and peer-reviewed patient education materials Widely used in major hospitals and medical centers 17

18. Native American Health Care National Library of Medicine – provides free access to American Indian Health database Native Health Databases – contains citations and abstracts of documents pertaining to the health care of North American indigenous peoples 18

19. Tracking Down the Full Text If your database search does not provide a link to full text of a relevant article:  Print a list of the citations  Click on the Library e-Journals link on the Library’s OT web page  Enter the title of the journal in the search box  Click on the database that contains the year you need 19

20. OT Journals Click on the individual OT journal title from the OT web page Open the year, volume, and issue you need 20

21. Consumer Health Resources Current, authoritative, peer-reviewed, and evidence- based resources MEDLINEPlus – the National Institutes of Health’s web site for patients and families Joanna Briggs Database - provides full text consumer information sheets Mosby’s Nursing Consult - includes patient education handouts produced by Elsevier 21

22. Getting Started: Match Resource to Information Need What is the question? How will information be used? 22

23. Background vs. Foreground Questions Asking questions about your proposed topic helps to clarify your knowledge gap Clarifying type of question helps to determine which sources are most likely to have the answers you need 23

24. Proposed Research Projects Evaluate the effectiveness of fatigue management programs for patients with multiple sclerosis Use of virtual reality therapies in rehabilitation of stroke patients 24

25. Background Questions Generally ask who, what, why, where or how about a single concept 25

26. Background Questions What are methods of reducing fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis? What are newer approaches to rehabilitation therapy for stroke patients that are based on motor learning? 26

29. Answers to Background Questions Resources:  MEDLINE  CINAHL Plus w/Full Text  Mosby’s Nursing Consult  Books – print and online 29

30. Information Retrieval to conduct Research Comprehensive in scope and time  All levels of resources  Current and Retrospective  Background and Foreground Information 30

31. Foreground Questions Usually compare two or more concepts – theories, drugs, treatments, tests, harms or benefits of two approaches 31

32. Answers to Foreground Questions Require precise information about complex issues Sources should provide current, original clinical research data  Start with Evidence-based summaries 32

33. New Tools Target High-Quality Studies Increase ease of accessing and understanding information Preprocessed (preappraised) tools - practical resources that facilitate ready access to high-quality research Pre-appraised – tools that have undergone a filtering process to include only those studies that are regularly updated and of higher quality

34. Critically Appraised (Evidence-Based) Summaries DynaMed First Consult Joanna Briggs Institute 34

35. Information Retrieval for Evidence Based Health Care Using research findings versus conducting research Retrieving and evaluating information that has direct application to specific patient care problems Selecting resources that are current, valid and available at point-of-care Developing search strategies that are feasible within time constraints of clinical practice

36. www.cebm.net “Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” Sackett DL, Rosenberg WMC, Gray JAM, Haynes RB, Richardson WS: Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn’t. BMJ 1996;312:71-2. Patient Concerns Clinical Expertise Best research evidence EBM What is EBM?

37. EBM Process – 5 Steps 1. ASK: Convert need for information into answerable question 2. ACQUIRE: Find best evidence to answer the question 3. APPRAISE: Critically appraise evidence for validity, impact, and applicability 4. APPLY: Integrate evidence with clinical expertise and patient values 5. ASSESS: Evaluate own effectiveness

38. Information Retrieval to Answer Clinical Questions Requires New Skills Clinical question formulation Search and retrieval of best evidence Critical appraisal of study methods

39. Is All Evidence Created Equal? Small portion of medical literature is immediately useful to answer clinical questions Understanding “wedge or pyramid of evidence” is helpful in finding highest level of evidence High levels of evidence may not exist for all questions due to nature of medical problems and research limitations

40. As you move up the pyramid the amount of available literature decreases, but it increases in its relevance to the clinical setting.
