Problem-based learning (PBL) in nursing education effectively develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Clear communication and defined roles for students and lecturers are crucial for successful PBL implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Pedagogy
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is a widely adopted pedagogical approach in undergraduate nursing education.
  • Institutions in the US, UK, and Australasia utilize PBL to enhance critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • A New Zealand tertiary institution has adapted PBL since 1996 within its Bachelor of Nursing program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted Problem-based learning (PBL) format in nursing education.
  • To assess how the current PBL model fosters students' understanding and integration of knowledge.
  • To identify key factors influencing successful PBL implementation in undergraduate nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Action research methodology was employed over two cycles.

  • Data collection involved both quantitative and qualitative methods over a 16-week period.
  • Participants included 4 lecturers and 17 students in a Bachelor of Nursing course.

    • Main Results:

    • Clear explanation of PBL's purpose and process is vital for student comprehension.
    • Detailed communication regarding student and lecturer roles enhances the learning experience.
    • Open communication channels, effective timetabling, and valuing PBL are critical for success.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted PBL model facilitates the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and information literacy skills in nursing students.
    • Effective implementation of PBL requires explicit communication, defined roles, and logistical support.
    • Findings offer valuable implications for optimizing PBL strategies in nursing education programs.
