Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach utilized in nursing education.
  • PBL aims to enhance self-directed learning and bridge the theory-practice gap in healthcare programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of PBL in an Australian undergraduate nursing program.
  • To assess PBL's impact on students' self-directed learning abilities and clinical practice integration.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data collection through interviews with clinical nurse educators.
  • Evaluation conducted at the end of the first and third years of PBL implementation.

Main Results:

  • Students demonstrated improved self-directed inquiry and learning capabilities.

  • A more holistic patient perspective was observed in students.
  • Deficiencies were noted in psychomotor skill performance and foundational anatomy/physiology knowledge.

    • Conclusions:

    • PBL positively influences cognitive and attitudinal aspects of nursing students' learning.
    • Curriculum adjustments are necessary to address psychomotor skill deficits and reinforce basic science knowledge.
    • Continuous program evaluation is essential for maintaining quality nursing education standards.
