18. When to search keywords
Reason Example
When the database does not have controlled
vocabulary
Google, Scopus, Web of Science
When subject headings do not fully capture the
idea you are searching
Yoga/ but you want specifically “hot yoga” or
“bikram yoga”
When there is more than one name for an idea Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation/ or
tens.mp.
When the idea is new and there is not a subject
heading for it yet or the subject heading is new
Constraint-induced movement therapy
19. “controlled vocabulary”
Database will search descriptor
field
Should be the focus of the article
because the process involves
humans
Different in each database, but
standardized across articles
“natural language”
Database will search multiple
fields
May not be the focus of the
article
Necessary if subject heading does
not exist for your term
20. Do a search in MEDLINE
Mrs. Bélanger is a 52-year-old L-handed self-employed hairdresser who has been diagnosed
with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome last week. The symptoms slowly started over the past year
but she delayed consulting since the symptoms had not significantly interfered with her work
until more recently. She described numbness on the median nerve territory bilaterally but more
significant in the L hand. You also noticed some muscle atrophy in the L thenar eminence. She
lives alone in an apartment in Montreal and enjoys bowling, playing cards and swimming. You
know that splints are the standard of care but you would like to see if muscle stretching exercises
would help as well.

24. Clinical Question
What is it and why do we use it?
A question that is “directly relevant to the problem at hand… [and] phrased to
facilitate searching for a precise answer.”
From: Richardson, WS. Wilson, MC. Nishikawa J. Hayward, RS. The well-built clinical question: a key to
evidence-based decisions. ACP Journal Club. Nov-Dec 1995.
“ To benefit patients and clinicians, such questions need to be both directly relevant
to patients’ problems and phrased in ways that direct your search to relevant and
precise answers.”

25. Clinical Question
• Directly relevant to the patient’s problem:
Mother comes with her child with autism in your office
There is a specific issue you would like to address
• Phrased to facilitate searching for a relevant and precise answer:
“Is occupational therapy effective in treating children with autism?”
“Does sensory integration improve social behaviour in children with autism?”

State the objectives of this lesson;
State your expectations for students' participation and the importance of searching for their academic and professional practices.
Question 1: (to look for evidence to support our practices)
Question 2: (focused on our specific needs; they contain the most updated knowledge)
Discussion about database search
Ask them the first question and have a whole-class discussion. Then move on to the second question. Let at least 3 students talk.
Cycle of "decision making"
Present the cycle of literature search. Ask them if they have ever seen that.
Explain each point and emphasize the importance of a good search for a good practice.
Finding MEDLINE/OVID database
If you find it useful, give some information regarding the database itself.
Give them some time to find the article.
Discuss the elements of the article
Quickly go over the information about the article, and focus on the Title, MeSH SH, and abstract.
Ask them to read the abstract and give 3 ideas that are representative of that article
If possible, write the 3 ideas in the PPT presentation (bubbles). Discuss different ways of describing each idea
Explain the role of AND/OR logic connectors
Emphasize that they fundamentally work in our favor to find the best type of evidence (OR expands our search, AND filters our search).
Show them how to connect the different ideas to find articles.
Importance of subject headings: No key word for Carpal Tunnel syndrome
Focus: If you used FOCUS on Carpal Tunnel, you wouldn’t have gotten this article
Explode: Must explode upper extremity, easy way to get all parts; keyword would need to search each word
Focus: or focus on these terms
Importance of subject headings: If you searched “splint” or “splints” as keyword, you would not have gotten this article
Give them some examples of when keywords are useful
If possible, ask them if they ever had similar situations.
Summarize the ideas that you already discussed
Propose a search based on the given scenario
Discuss their findings
Let at least 3 students share their findings, so that we can see diversity of results. Discuss why they found different information and whether this is important.

Clarify your thoughts
Fill gaps in your knowledge
There is so much research out there that you will never be able to keep up with all of that reading—want to keep up with your practice
Write questions to help us find the best evidence when searching.
Importance of clinical question
Go back to the cycle and explain that to solve problems better, we need to better formulate questions to search.
What is a clinical question and why do we use it?
Focus on the importance of clinical questions for their own professional practice. It is not a theoretical exercise; it is rather a very practical issue.
How it relates to their professional practice
Emphasize that phrasing it correctly will enhance the chances of getting relevant information.
Explain different types of studies
Explain why SR and RCTs are the best type of evidence.
Introduce a framework for clinical question: PICO
Ask them whether they are familiar with it, and whether they use it during their studies. Also, explain each element with the help of the students, if possible.

Find each element in the example
As the students identify the PICO elements, write them either on the slides or on the board.
Find each element in the example
As the students identify the elements in this framework, write them either on the slides or on the board.
Discuss the subject headings for this search
For each PICO element, show how the subject headings look like and their logic connectors. Comment on the absence of output for the search
Mention how limits could be used if large number
Verify if all students found the same article
Check the search items and logic connectors in case anyone did not find the same article. Discuss: we were lucky to find only one article (RCT), but what if we had not found it or if we wanted a systematic review? We would need to expand our search.
Ask them possible ways to expand the search, and how it would look like in the database search. If time allows, let them do a new search and discuss the results.
Discuss the PICO elements in the scenario
Emphasize the idea that the example contains much information that are not relevant for the PICO framework.
Mention l
Show the PICO elements and have them do the search by themselves. Discuss the results.
Mention l
Show the framework elements and have them do the search by themselves. Discuss the results, and check which elements they used to their search.
Discuss the subject headings for this search
For each PICO element, show how the subject headings look like and their logic connectors. Comment on the absence of output for the search
Mention limits
Show the search box and the most relevant article that they were supposed to find.
These databases all have subject headings, or controlled vocab
Have to look for them in some databases—but some databases are very helpful and suggest subject headings to you!
