Objective:
To determine whether problem based learning (PBL) is an effective educational strategy in chronic disease management.
Methods:
The databases CINAHL, EMBASE, HealthStar, Medline and PubMed were searched for articles which focused on PBL and patient education or patient learning.
Results:
Individual studies using PBL as an intervention with chronic disease management reflect significant changes in cognitive and clinical outcomes among individuals experiencing diabetes, asthma, arthritis and coronary artery disease.
Conclusion:
There is a need for more well designed studies that assess the impact of PBL on self-care management of a variety of chronic diseases.
Practice Implications:
There is some evidence that PBL is effective in promoting self-care with individuals experiencing diabetes, arthritis, asthma and coronary artery disease.
