Purpose:This study was conducted to identify the effects of an action learning based creative problem-solving (CPS) course on problem solving, creativity and team-member exchange in nursing students.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study applying a non-equivalent control group pre-post design was employed. Sophomore nursing students (32 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group) were recruited from a university in G-city, Korea. Problem solving, creativity and team-member exchange were measured for the pretest and posttest using self-report questionnaires. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-square, Fisher``s exact test, t-test, and ANCOVA with SPSS/Win 20.0 program were used to analyze the data.
Results: The scores for problem solving, creativity and team-member exchange in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group.
Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that an action learning based CPS course is an effective teaching method to improve nursing students`` competencies. In the future longitudinal studies are needed to assess the long term effects of the course.
