Purpose: Since the problem-based learning (PBL) has been introduced in China, many nursing schools have included PBL in their curricula. A consensus is emerging that there is a need for systematic reviews regarding a range of selected topics in nursing education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the numerical expansion of the PBL researches and to classify the research issues.
Method: 154 papers are reviewed in terms of research design & method, measurement of effectiveness and moderating variables.
Result: Most of the researches are quasi-experimental study (76.0%) of which post-test control group design is the dominant (63.0%). For the data collection methods, test method shows the highest (74.7%) proportions. The effect of PBL are classified as two categories which are cognitive and affective. Knowledge acquisition which is included into cognitive shows the highest proportions for measuring the effectiveness. Moderating variables are classified as three categories which are participants, clinical/theoretical and number of participants.
Conclusion: Many articles are related to the measurement of effectiveness. Meta-analysis and longitudinal research should be conducted in order to synthesize the effects of PBL in nursing education.
