Problem-based learning (PBL) enhances nursing students' problem-solving skills by engaging them in realistic scenarios. This educational method is crucial for bridging the theory-practice gap in nursing education.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • The theory-practice gap remains a persistent challenge in nursing education.
  • Effective problem-solving skills are essential for competent nursing practice.
  • Developing these skills in learners is a key focus for educators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of problem-based learning (PBL) in enhancing undergraduate nursing students' problem-solving abilities.
  • To investigate the effectiveness of the hypothetico-deductive technique within PBL for nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • A case study design was employed.
  • Observation was the primary data collection method.
  • The study involved 11 fourth-year undergraduate nursing students.

Main Results:

  • Analysis focused on practice, teaching methods, knowledge acquisition, and the educator's role.
  • The PBL process itself was identified as critical for skill development.
  • Students were encouraged to generate and test hypotheses against literature and experience.

Conclusions:

  • Problem-based learning, utilizing the hypothetico-deductive technique, shows promise for developing essential problem-solving skills in nursing students.
  • This approach aims to equip future nurses with the ability to apply critical thinking to patient care.
  • Further exploration of PBL's impact on practice, teaching, and knowledge attainment is warranted.
