Background: Nurses are the largest component of the health care workforce. The laborious implementation of evidence based results in their practice is partially explainable by their limited access to high quality information resources. The Cochrane Library offers all care providers (including registered nurses) the best evidence currently available for clinical decision making in order to provide the most consistent and best possible care for patients. But the nursing content of the Cochrane Library is not clearly identified. Objectives: The study aim is to identify all systematic reviews published in the Cochrane Library that are of direct use for nurses. Method: A search strategy usingMeSH terms to identify all systematic reviews relevant to nurses and published in the Cochrane database of systematic reviews. Based on the abstract, several data were systematically identified: Population: newborn, children, adults, elderly. Intervention: prevention, education, care or cure. Comparison Outcomes: quality of live, self care, . . . Setting: hospital, nursing home, home care Nurse specialty: intensive care, oncology, pediatric, geriatric, . . . Conclusion: no or limited evidence versus applicable evidence Need of further research: not needed versus needed Latest update. In addition, the presence of a meta analysis, the number of included studies, and relevant data about the authors are presented. Results: In December 2009, 1264 results out of 6076 records were indentified for nurs* AND care OR prevention OR clinical OR education in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in all search field. Analyses are in progress. Conclusion: About 21% of the publications in the Cochrane database of Systematic reviews are currently of direct interest for nurses. Improving the knowledge and visibility of the Cochrane Library among nurses could stimulate a better use of this source of evidence.
