Summary
Nursing students found problem-based learning effective for developing teamwork and collaboration skills. Key factors included group composition, shared goals, and practicing communication and leadership within the team.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Core competencies like teamwork and collaboration are crucial for nursing practice.
- Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach increasingly used in healthcare training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nursing students' experiences with PBL in developing teamwork and collaboration skills.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative descriptive study design.
- Individual interviews with 11 purposively selected nursing students.
- Inductive qualitative content analysis of interview data.
Main Results:
- Two main categories emerged: prerequisites for training teamwork and collaboration, and abilities practiced in the base group.
- Prerequisites included prior experience, group composition, and shared goals/values.
- Practiced abilities encompassed personal responsibility, role distribution, leadership, communication, and group cohesion.
Conclusions:
- PBL provides a valuable framework for nursing students to develop essential teamwork and collaboration competencies.
- Specific prerequisites and practiced abilities highlight key areas for optimizing PBL in nursing education.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
