You can search CINAHL Complete using keyword search strategies, but CINAHL also allows you to search using their subject headings. Each item (articles, abstracts, videos) in the database is associated with a set of subject terms that are assigned to describe the content, so if you find the right subject heading for your topic, you can easily view all the content associated with that subject.
