ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a community-linked, project-based Problem-Based Learning(PBL) smoking cessation program on nursing students’ attitudes toward learning, satisfaction with major, problem-solving skill. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest structure was used. A total of 30 nursing students from D University in K City participated and were assigned to an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The intervention consisted of a four-session extracurricular program. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS/Win 25.0 program with frequency, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Mann–Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. After the intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvements compared to the control group in attitudes toward learning (Z=-3.04, p=.002), satisfaction with major (Z=-2.27, p=.023), and problem-solving skill (Z=-2.98, p=.003). Among the subscales of problem-solving skill, problem definition (Z=-3.08, p=.002), solution planning (Z=-2.24, p=.025), solution implementation (Z=-2.84, p=.005), and solution evaluation (Z=-2.98, p=.003) showed significant improvements, whereas problem identification (Z=-1.94, p=.053) did not show a significant difference. This program integrated academic learning with community field practice using project-based PBL. The results suggest that this approach effectively enhances nursing students’attitudes toward learning, satisfaction with major, and problem-solving skill, and can serve as a practical educational strategy to promote experiential, community-based learning in nursing education.
