Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0302 short lesson, about 20 seconds
A Systematic Search
Captions available
The idea
A systematic search is a planned, describable method for finding evidence — not looking until something useful appears.
In practice
Terms taken from the question, databases chosen in advance, each step recorded.
Where people slip
An unsystematic search cannot be repeated, which means its result cannot be checked and its gaps cannot be found.

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
