Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate students' views and suggestions about case-based learning.

Case-based learning was integrated into the nursing process and implemented in four sessions, and then, students' views and suggestions were collected. In the interview, a semi-structured interview form was used, in-depth interviews were made, and the data were evaluated by qualitative data analysis. Phenomelogical approach of Colazzi was used in the analyzes and Huberman method was applied. The COREQ was used to analyze and report the qualitative data. The sample consisted of second-year students in the nursing department of a public university in Anatolia in the academic year 2017-2018. Participants attended the case-based learning program. A focus group interview was conducted with 10 of the participants.

Results: Participants are 10 students with a mean age of 19.86 ± 0.78 years. A total of 65 opinions and suggestions were presented during the focus group meeting. These were grouped under two main and seven sub-themes. Participants had positive views on the program and gave practical suggestions.
