Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health (CINAHL) database provides authoritative coverage of the literature related to nursing and allied health. Virtually all English-language publications are indexed along with the publications of the American Nurses Association and the National League for Nursing. The database also provides access to healthcare books, nursing dissertations, selected conference proceedings, standards of professional practice, educational software and audiovisual materials in nursing. CINAHL provides access to abstracts mainly, although there is access to a small amount of full-text articles. Access: CINAHL is available through any UNC campus computer, and is also available off-campus to any UNC affiliated person who has a PID number. Instructions on how to connect if you are off-campus are included here.
