Database guide last
updated May 08, 2024

The JBI EBP Database allows you to search simultaneously, a wide range of summarized and appraised evidence, to inform your practice. This comprehensive range of resources includes over 3,000 records across five publication types: Evidence Based Recommended Practices, Evidence Summaries, Best Practice Information Sheets, Systematic Reviews, and Systematic Review Protocols.

Subject Area Nodes: Evidence organized into health care area/specialties. Only information specific to that health topic is included in each database.

Ovid recommends you use Basic Search when searching this database.

Publication Types

Evidence Based Recommended Practices: Interventions or procedures that describe and/or recommend certain practices on selected clinical topics. Recommended Practices are based on the best available evidence and each practice consists of an equipment list, a recommended practice, occupational health and safety provisions, and an adjoining evidence summary where evidence is available.

Evidence Summaries: Short abstracts that summarize existing international evidence on common health care interventions and activities. Based on structured searches of the literature and selected evidence-based health care databases.

Best Practice Information Sheets (BPIS): Short summaries based on the results and recommendations of systematic reviews. BPIS are easily disseminated and provide busy health professionals access to key issues and recommendations that have been collected from a large volume of material.

Systematic Reviews: An analysis of all of the available literature (that is, evidence) and involves developing a question; establishing inclusion criteria; developing a strategy to comprehensively search for the evidence; appraising the quality of each paper; excluding papers of poor quality; extracting the findings of included papers; and synthesizing the findings of included papers.

Systematic Review Protocol: Documents background information and the plan for conducting a systematic review.

The JBI Levels of Evidence are:

JBI Grades of Recommendation
A ‘strong’ recommendation for a certain health management strategy where:
Grade A	1. it is clear that desirable effects outweigh undesirable effects of the strategy;
	2. where there is evidence of adequate quality supporting its use;
	3. there is a benefit or no impact on resource use, and
	4. values, preferences and the patient experience have been taken into account.
A ‘weak’ recommendation for a certain health management strategy where:
Grade B	1. desirable effects appear to outweigh undesirable effects of the strategy, although this is not as clear;
	2. where there is evidence supporting its use, although this may not be of high quality;
	3. there is a benefit, no impact or minimal impact on resource use, and
	4. values, preferences and the patient experience may or may not have been taken into account.

The FAME (Feasibility, Appropriateness, Meaningfulness and Effectiveness) scale may help inform the wording and strength of a recommendation.

F – Feasibility; specifically:

What is the cost effectiveness of the practice?
Is the resource/practice available?
Is there sufficient experience/levels of competency available?

A – Appropriateness; specifically:

Is it culturally acceptable?
Is it transferable/applicable to the majority of the population?
Is it easily adaptable to a variety of circumstances?

M – Meaningfulness; specifically:

Is it associated with positive experiences?
Is it not associated with negative experiences?

E – Effectiveness; specifically:

Was there a beneficial effect?
Is it safe? (i.e is there a lack of harm associated with the practice?

Advanced Searching
You can use special search syntax listed below to combine search terms or strategically develop a search. Full documentation is provided in the Advanced Searching Techniques section of the Online Help.
Operator	Syntax	Search Example	Sample Results
OR	x or y	assessment or diagnosis	"Functional Assessment in Acute Care: Occupational Therapy."
	The OR operator retrieves records that contain any or all of the search terms. For example, the search heart attack or myocardial infarction retrieves results that contain the terms heart attack, myocardial infarction or both terms; results are all inclusive. You can use the OR operator in both unqualified searches and searches applied to a specific field.
AND	x and y	assessment and diagnosis	"Frostbite: Assessment and Diagnosis."
	The AND operator retrieves only those records that include all of the search terms. For example, the search blood pressure and stroke retrieves results that contain the term blood pressure and the term stroke together in the same record; results are exclusive of records that do not contain both of these terms. You can use the AND operator in both unqualified searches and searches applied to a specific field.
NOT	x not y	management not care	"Chemotherapy: Acute Hypersensitivity Reaction Management."
	The NOT operator retrieves records that contain the first search term and excludes the second search term. For example, the search health reform not health maintenance organizations retrieves only those records that contain the term health reform but excludes the term health maintenance organizations. In this way, you can use the NOT operator to restrict results to a specific topic. You can use the NOT operator in both unqualified searches and searches applied to a specific field.
Adjacency (ADJ)	x y	cardiac adj risk	"Nurse-led interventions to reduce cardiac risk factors in adults."
	The Adjacent operator (ADJ) retrieves records with search terms next to each other in that specific order. You do not need to separate search terms manually by inserting ADJ between them, because when you separate terms with a space on the command line, Ovid automatically searches for the terms adjacent to one another. For example, the search blood pressure is identical to the search blood adj pressure.
Defined Adjacency (ADJn)	x ADJn y	adult adj3 health	"A systematic review of the experiences of videoconference telepsychiatry for health professionals and adult mental health care users in public mental health services."
	The defined adjacency operator (ADJn) retrieves records that contain search terms within a specified number (n-1) of words from each other in any order (stop-words included). To use the adjacency operator, separate your search terms with ADJ and a number from 1 to 99 as explained below: ADJ1 Next to each other, in any order ADJ2 Next to each other, in any order, up to 1 word in between ADJ3 Next to each other, in any order, up to 2 words in between ADJ99 Next to each other, in any order, up to 98 words in between For example, the search physician adj5 relationship retrieves records that contain the words physician and relationship with a maximum of four words in between in either direction. This particular search retrieves records containing such phrases as physician patient relationship, patient physician relationship, or relationship between cancer patient and physician. Please note Ovid’s order of operation handles terms within parentheses first. Therefore it is recommended to apply the ADJn operator in one-on-one operations to avoid missing out on results. E.g. stroke adj4 (blood pressure or high blood pressure) could potentially miss out on some combinations of stroke with high blood pressure. The optimum way to execute this on Ovid is: (stroke adj4 blood pressure) OR (stroke adj4 high blood pressure).
Frequency (FREQ)	x.ab./FREQ=n	care.ab./freq=5	"Oral Hygiene Care for Adults with Dementia in Residential Aged Care Facilities (Public Release: 20th Nov 2004)."
	The frequency operator (FREQ) lets you specify a threshold of occurrence of a term in the records retrieved from your search. Records containing your search term are retrieved only if the term occurs at least the specified (n) number of times. In general, records that contain many instances of your search term are more relevant than records that contain fewer instances. The frequency operator is particularly useful when searching a text field, such as Abstract or Full Text, for a common word or phrase.
Unlimited Truncation ($)	x$	brain$	"Intraoperative brain activity monitoring and post-anesthesia care length of stay: A systematic review."
	Unlimited truncation retrieves all possible suffix variations of the root word indicated. To apply unlimited truncation to a term, type the root word or phrase followed by either of the truncation characters: $ (dollar sign) or * (asterisk). For example, in the truncated search brain, Ovid retrieves the word brain* as well as the words brains, and more.
Limited Truncation ($)	x$n	systems$1	"Nursing Practice: Record Systems."
	Limited truncation specifies a maximum number of characters that may follow the root word or phrase. For example, the truncated search dog$1 retrieves results with the words dog and dogs; but it does not retrieve results with the word dogma.
Mandated Wildcard (#)	xx#y	wom#n	"Breastfeeding and the Diabetic Woman."
	Searching with a mandated wildcard retrieves all possible variations of a word in which the wildcard is present in the specified place. You can use it at the end of a term to limit results to only those that contain the word plus the mandated character. For example, the search dog# retrieves results that contain the word dogs, but not those that contain the word dog, effectively limiting results to only those that contain the plural form of the word. The mandated wild card character (#) is also useful for retrieving specialized plural forms of a word. For example, the search wom#n retrieves results that contain both woman and women. You can use multiple wild cards in a single query word.
Optional Wildcard (?)	xx?y	car?e	"Burn Wound Management: Primary Care Facility."
	The optional wild card character (?) can be used within or at the end of a search term to substitute for one or no characters. This wild card is useful for retrieving documents with British and American word variants since it specifies that you want retrieval whether or not the extra character is present. For example, the optional wild card search colo?r retrieves results that contain the words color or colour. You can use multiple wild cards in a single query word.
Literal String ("")	"x / y"	"Health/Care"	"Effect of Organisational and Individual Factors on Health Care Professional's Compliance with Infection Control Guidelines in In-patient Settings (The)."
Literal String ("")	"n"	"8".vo	"A systematic review of the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions on quality of life (QoL) for adult vitiligo patients."
	Quotation marks can be used to retrieve records that contain literal strings, when the string includes special characters, such as a forward slash (/). Quotation marks can also be used to retrieve records that contain numbers that may otherwise be confused for earlier searches. In the example, a search for 3.vo would limit the string from your third search in your search history to the volume field. By including the number in quotation marks, the search will retrieve documents with a 3 in the volume number.

Stopwords

The Ovid search engine applies so called "run-time stopword processing". This means the search engine on the fly ignores the stopwords: and, as, by, for, from, in, is, of, on, that, the, this, to, was, were & with.

Therefore a search: at risk for diabetes.ti will also find: at risk of diabetes. The distance of one word in between is kept, but the stopword "for" is ignored.
