problem solving in nursing education

Problem-solving in nursing is essential for promoting good team dynamics, interdisciplinary collaboration, and positive patient outcomes. The following are five of the top reasons why learning to implement problem-solving skills is so important.

Problem-solving ability is an important competency for nursing students to enable them to solve various problems that occur in dynamic clinical settings. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify the factors that affect the problem-solving ability of nursing students.

Problem-based learning is a student-centered method and strategy that allows nursing students to collaborate in small groups with the goal of improving their clinical skills and cognitive capacities ( Jamshidi et al., 2021, Jamshidi et al., 2021; Owen, 2019 ).

Problem-based learning (PBL) emphasizes learning behavior that leads to critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaborative skills in preparing students for a professional medical career.

Nursing education and training must provide a learning environment that reflects actual practice and enables students to set up alternative measures to solve learning problems, search and obtain required data, and equip themselves with problem-solving abilities.

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been identified as an approach that improves the training of nurses by teaching them how to apply theory to clinical practice and by developing their problem-solving skills, which could be used to overcome environmental constraints within clinical practice.
