Abstract

In a first part, the distinct perspectives of physician and nurse are outlined. In a second part, the ethical dilemmas emerging from daily practise are revealed. Questions regarding effects and meanings of health and suffering are raised. Does possibility mean obligation, i.e. for transplantation of organs? What are the criteria for this advanced medicine? Since ethical decisions do always involve at least two individuals and since they are not abstract ideas, they touch us over and over again: closely.

Efficient literature searching: a core skill for the practice of evidence-based medicine.

BACKGROUND: Efficient literature searching and the application of formal rules of evidence in evaluating the clinical literature are the two key skills defining the practice of evidence-based medicine. Although clinicians embrace the concepts of evidence-based medicine, most identify limited personal time as the major barrier towards its implementation into daily practice. Busy clinicians who practice evidence-based medicine identify systematic reviews and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines as very useful resources. METHODS: This review presents a simple, easy-to-follow, three-step searching strategy that emphasises the use of powerful new PubMed features that allow clinicians to retrieve high-quality systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines and primary studies with a single mouse click. The overall effectiveness of the process is further improved by highlighting the major features of successful and unsuccessful literature searches. CONCLUSIONS: At the end of this tutorial the reader should be able to conduct efficient and effective literature searches that support clinical decision making in under 10 minutes.
