CINAHL Evidence-Based Care Sheets (EBCS) are concise, evidence-based summaries of key nursing and allied health topics, designed to provide healthcare professionals with a general overview. Each evidence-based care sheet incorporates the latest evidence, statistics, research and references on a given topic. The references are ranked, using a coding matrix, according to the type of literature they represent (systematic reviews, meta-analysis, etc.). The care sheets focus on nursing practices.
