What are CINAHL Subject Headings?

“CINAHL Subject Headings” is a subject authority for all five CINAHL database; CINAHL Subject Headings are based on the Mesh headings, with additional specific nursing and allied health headings added as appropriate. Users can utilize CINAHL Subject Headings when searching CINAHL databases to find articles related to a specific topic.

Which databases will be updated?
All CINAHL Databases will receive the new CINAHL Subject Headings:

CINAHL (cin20)
CINAHL with Full Text (c8h)
CINAHL Plus (john)

CINAHL Complete (come)

Will this reload change how CINAHL Subject Headings appear in live?
No – though the 2018 reload changed the toolbar link from “CINAHL Headings” to “CINAHL Subject Headings” in EBSCOhost, this reload will not make any changes to the link text.
