The aim of this quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design was to study the effects of case-study learning on knowledge and self-efficacy in community healthcare. Participants were 32 Fourth-Year nursing students who were studying the subject Family and Community Nursing Care in academic year 2018. Instrument for data collection was a questionnaire including two parts: 1) case study learning, and 2) knowledge of community healthcare. Validity coefficient of those yielded 0.92 and 1.00, respectively. Reliability was confirmed by using KR-20 (0.67), and 3) self-efficacy towards community healthcare had a validity coefficient of 0.90. Reliability was confirmed by using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.85). Data were analyzed and presented by frequency, percentage, means, standard deviation, and paired t-test.
Findings of study were as follows. Comparing before and after using case study showed that nursing students had higher mean score on knowledge (M=18.84, SD=3.02; M=34.41, SD=1.88) and self-efficacy of community healthcare (M=50.03, SD=9.25; M=88.13, SD=5.22) than the baseline at a .001 statistical significance level (p<.001 and p<.001 respectively).
This study has suggested that case study method can improve knowledge and self-efficacy of learners so that they will have more confident in their practice than before. In the next study, there should be additional forms and teaching methods such as computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and role-play, for the betterment of nursing education quality.
