CINAHL
CINAHL
CINAHL staff have created expanded records for approximately ninety instruments that are commonly used in nursing research studies. These expanded records include information such as original population, question format, administration, psychometrics, and information on how to obtain copies. Some of these also include the full-text of the instrument. To view the full text of the instrument, if available, click on the Change Display button, click on Complete Record, and then click on Confirm Changes. Or, click on View Complete Record at the end of each citation. Example: rosenberg self esteem scale and research-instrument in dt Search Sample Some full text instruments are available as a pdf file. Look in the IM (Images) field for the file name, i.e. 95031390. To view the full text, enter this address on the web: http://www.lib.washington.edu/uwdocs/cinahl/<filename>.pdf
