Using Reliable Resources

Question: Should the web be used to find medical/health resources?

Answer: Yes, however….

Websites must be evaluated to verify Authority Accuracy Objectivity Currency Purpose

Question: Why is verification important?

Answer: Because not all information on the web is Equal Accurate Created by an expert Intended as authoritative

Web Evaluation Criteria

Authority: Are you able to identify the author? Can you verify the author is an expert in the field being researched? If an author is not cited, is the site sponsored by a well known and well regarded organization or agency? Is the site found in a reliable domain (.edu,.gov,.org)? Can you find any trustworthy reviews of the site?

Accuracy Is the writing sound? Do you see typing, spelling or grammatical errors? Is there a list of references? Do the sources in the reference list seem scholarly? Is an original source for the information cited? Can you verify the information in another reliable source? If disclaimers are used, what is the nature of their warning?

Objectivity Is there any reason to suspect bias? Are links to other sites provided? If so, do they indicate potential bias?

Currency When was the site created? When was the site last updated? If links are provided on the page, do they point to live, updated sites?

Purpose For whom is the site intended? What is the main objective of the site?

Remember, the best tool you bring to web resource evaluation is your growing professional knowledge in the field of nursing. Do not be afraid to rely on that knowledge when rejecting resources that seem to “pass” a criteria-based evaluation, and do not hesitate to include resources when you can confirm their accuracy and usefulness.

Three Tips of Finding EBP in SJC Databases

Tip 1: Search appropriate databases: Cochrane Database of Systematic Review CINAHL MEDLINE

Tip 2: Check database controlled vocabulary when in doubt. CINAHL and MEDLINE use specific subject heading that do not always match our own vocabulary. Blood pressure = hypertension

Tip 3: Limiters function differently when performing simultaneous searching. Not all databases respond to the same limiters.

CINAHL’s Evidence-Based Practice limiter yields articles with general studies into the use of EBP, not the practices themselves. Use the “Systematic Review” Publication Type instead.
