Feedback:
CINAHL is an important electronic database for nurses. It covers references to hundreds of nursing and allied health journals, as well as to books, book chapters, and dissertations. CINAHL contains more than 1 million records, but not 15 million. Note that its subject headings include substantive headings, such as Music Therapy in Old Age, as well as methodologic (e.g., Quasi-Experimental Studies) and sample characteristic headings (e.g., Male; Female). It is MEDLINE, not CINAHL, that uses the controlled vocabulary called MeSH to index entries.
