Case-Based Learning for In-Service Nursing Students
A Cluster-Randomized Study of Case-Based Learning on Perceived Problem-Solving Ability, Emotional Intelligence, and Learning Motivation Among In-Service Nursing Students
This quasi-experimental study explored the influence of integrating CBL into a psychiatric nursing course on these three outcomes among in-service nursing students. 106 students from two classes were purposively selected via convenience sampling and cluster-randomized into an intervention group (n = 54) and a control group (n = 52). From September 2024 to January 2025, participants in an Emotional Flooding and Mental Health course at a university of technology in northern Taiwan received either a nine-week CBL intervention covering adolescent, adult, and older-adult psychiatric cases, or didactic instruction. Outcomes were measured pre- and post-intervention using the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI), the Adult Emotional Intelligence Scale (AEIS), and the Adults' Learning Motivation Scale (ALMS).

実験的：Case-Based Learning (CBL) Group
Participants received a nine-week case-based learning (CBL) intervention integrated into the Emotional Flooding and Mental Health course, delivered across three non-contiguous three-week blocks (Weeks 3-5, 9-11, and 16-18) covering adolescent, adult, and older-adult psychiatric cases, respectively. Each case followed a three-stage format (small-group discussion preparation, intensive small-group discussion, and conclusion), with graded small-group discussion components. |
A nine-week case-based learning intervention using progressively unfolding psychiatric nursing cases (adolescent, adult, and older-adult), incorporating small-group discussion, peer learning, oral presentation, and reflective assessment components. |

アクティブコンパレータ：Control (Traditional Instruction) Group
Participants received traditional didactic (lecture-based) instruction on the same nine topics within the Emotional Flooding and Mental Health course, delivered across the same three-week blocks (Weeks 3-5, 9-11, and 16-18), without case-based small-group discussion components. |
Traditional lecture-based instruction covering the same psychiatric nursing topics as the CBL condition, without case-based small-group discussion components. |

Change in Perceived Problem-Solving Ability (Problem Solving Inventory, PSI)
時間枠：Baseline (Week 1, prior to instruction) and Week 18 (immediately following completion of the final instructional block)
|
Perceived problem-solving ability measured using the 32-item Problem Solving Inventory (Heppner & Petersen, 1982; Chinese version validated by Jiang et al., 2016), comprising three subscales: confidence in problem-solving, approach-avoidance style, and personal control. Items are rated on a six-point scale; lower total scores indicate stronger perceived problem-solving ability. |
Baseline (Week 1, prior to instruction) and Week 18 (immediately following completion of the final instructional block)
|
|
Change in Learning Motivation (Adults' Learning Motivation Scale, ALMS)
時間枠：Baseline (Week 1, prior to instruction) and Week 18 (immediately following completion of the final instructional block)
|
Learning motivation measured using the 15-item Adults' Learning Motivation Scale (Chen & Chiu, 2009), comprising three subscales: pursuit of interests, career advancement, and external expectations. Items are rated on a five-point Likert scale; higher scores indicate greater learning motivation. |
Baseline (Week 1, prior to instruction) and Week 18 (immediately following completion of the final instructional block)
|
|
Change in Emotional Intelligence (Adult Emotional Intelligence Scale, AEIS)
時間枠：Baseline (Week 1, prior to instruction) and Week 18 (immediately following completion of the final instructional block)
|
Emotional intelligence measured using the 26-item Adult Emotional Intelligence Scale (Hung, 2019), comprising four subscales: emotional awareness, emotional expression, emotional regulation, and emotion utilization. Items are rated on a four-point Likert scale; higher scores indicate greater emotional intelligence. |
