Nursing problem-solving ability is an important basic skill that nursing students need to develop to think critically and creatively, which can be applied after graduation. This quasi-experimental study, employing a one-group pretest-posttest design, aimed to compare the scores of nursing problem-solving ability before and after the learning management using case study as case-based learning in the subject of Adult and Gerontological Nursing 1 among 107 second-year nursing students at Boromarajonnani College of Nursing, Chainat, Thailand. The research instruments included a case-based learning plan, case studies, and a guide to case-based teaching and Learning. The data collection instrument was a modified essay question in which reliability was tested with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .83. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed ranks test. The results of this study have found that after the program completion, nursing students who received the learning management case-based learning had a statistically significantly higher mean score of nursing problem-solving ability than before the experiment (p<.001). Therefore, the teaching and learning management should design learning to use case-based learning for enhancing nursing students to gain experience in solving nursing problems in real situations, thinking critically and creatively, and successfully solving problems when encountering similar situations, leading to safe and effective nursing practices.
