CINAHL VS MEDLINECHARACTERISTIC CINAHL MEDLINE
Size Smaller Larger
Topics Limited to Nursing
Much broader-nursing as well as broader health areas
Use when… The topic is only relevant to nursing (i.e. a specific nursing practice/skill/technique)
The topic is more broadly related to health (i.e. a disease etiology, treatment, etc)
