screening effect

I am a little confused between these terms> Shielding effect,screening effect,sheilding power,screening power Are all these terms same? Do the inner electrons absorb or suck up the nuclear force of attraction by some extent or they just repel the test electron or they do both? does shielding power mean the the strength or capacity of inner electrons to suck up or decrease effective nuclear charge?
