| Abstract | ||
| Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) has been implemented throughout the world as an innovative learning method in nursing education and some Egyptian universities have adopted PBL as a learning method to enhance intern-nurses application of knowledge, promotes self-learning, and develops managerial skills. The study aimed to enhance managerial skills for intern-nurses by using problem-based learning strategy. Study Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. The study sample: A convenient sample of 124 intern-nurses divided into two groups; Traditional based learning (TBL) group (70 intern-nurses) and PBL group (54 intern-nurses). Study Setting: The study was conducted in the intern-nurses' clinical training areas at Benha University Hospital. Tools: Five tools were used for data collection; (1) Intern-nurses' opinionnaire sheet, (2) Managerial skills knowledge questionnaire, (3) Managerial skills' practice questionnaire, (4) Attitude toward PBL questionnaire and (5) Evaluation questionnaire. Results: The majority of intern-nurses (92.6% & 72.2%) preferred PBL at immediate post and follow up phases respectively than TBL as a strategy of learning. Also, the majority of intern-nurses (96.3% & 87.1%) had satisfactory level of managerial skills knowledge at PBL and TBL group respectively during immediate post program phase. The majority of intern-nurses (87.0%) had positive attitude toward PBL at follow up phase compared to pre-program. Conclusion: There was highly statistically significant difference improvement found in the immediate post program between both groups with higher total mean scores in PBL group than TBL group during immediate post program. Also, there was highly statistically significant positive correlation between total managerial skills' knowledge and total managerial skills' practice at both groups. Recommendations: The study recommended that PBL strategy should be adopted by Faculty of Nursing Benha University for better skills and learning outcome, to allow students' interactions and encourage higher thinking level. | ||
