Comparison of Problem-Based Learning and Traditional Educatıon on Nursing Students’ Empathic Skills

29675

The aim of this study was to compare effects of problem based learning and with traditional education on empathy skills. The study sample included a total of 193 fourth year students from two different nursing schools, of whom 73 were exposed to problem based learning and 120 were exposed to traditional education. Data were collected with Empathy Skills Scale, developed by Dökmen. The nursing students exposed to problem based learning had significantly higher levels of empathy skills (185.98±1.67) than those exposed to traditional education (131.00±1.74) (t: 21.23, p 0.001). This significant difference will shed light on studies about nursing curricula. Prospective studies are required to investigate levels of empathy skills in nursing students exposed to problem based learning versus traditional education.
