CINAHL Headings is a controlled vocabulary of subject terms. These terms are used to describe the content of the materials indexed in CINAHL. Using CINAHL Headings in searches saves you time and effort by bringing multiple ways to refer to a disease, condition, or concept under a single term.
For example, using the CINAHL Heading "Stroke" will also get articles on cerebral vascular accident(s), cerebrovascular accident(s), CVA(s), and strokes.
Click on the CINAHL Headings tab at the top of the CINAHL display to begin using subject terms in your search.
