Resource of the week #9: Joanna Briggs Institute Database

What is it?
The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) is a research and development centre within the University of Adelaide. It collaborates with institutions across the world to gather good quality, high-level, evidence-based material on a range of nursing-specific topics.

The database allows you to search this material for information on a range of topics, including nursing management and education as well as nursing practice.

Key Features
The material available includes systematic reviews, best practice information sheets and evidence summaries. The evidence summaries give a “snapshot” of the current state of evidence on a topic. This is accompanied by recent references and gives a clear indication of the level of evidence involved. The summaries tend to be relatively short and have an easy-to-read format.

How can it help you?
You can find high-level, evidence-based summaries across a range of nursing-related topics.

How to access it?
You can access the JBI database from your nursing databases page. You will need your Keele computer login details if you are trying to access off-site.

More help?
You can find more help on using the JBI database from our website.
