Objectives: To explore the influence of teamwork skills and challenges on the team-based learning, in order to optimize the experiences and outcomes of team-based learning for nursing students.
Methodology: A descriptive correlational study was conducted with the participation of 280 second, third, and fourth-year students studying in the Bachelor of Nursing program at a selected university in Da Nang city.
Results: The findings of the study provide valuable insights into the factors influencing teamwork skills and the challenges faced by nursing students when team-based learning. The overall assessment of teamwork skills was answered by students with an average score of 4.03, indicating that students generally had "Agree" teamwork skills, with "communication skills" rated as "Strong Agree". The average score for the challenges encountered was 3.92, which is interpreted as "Usually". This suggests that students generally encountered these challenges frequently, but not always. Specific challenges identified included engagement, time management, motivation, personality conflicts, and social context, all rated as "Often" occurring. Student ratings of team-based learning were rated as "very good" with a mean of 3.91. The relationship between teamwork skills and team-based learning was found to be highly correlated, with Pearson's r = 0.51. The challenges and team-based learning were also highly correlated, with Pearson's r = 0.61. All the correlations were statistically significant, with a p-value of less than 0.001.
Conclusions: These correlations were supported by high Pearson r coefficients and low p-values, indicating a very strong and significant positive relationship. Nursing students demonstrated strong teamwork skills, particularly in adaptability, coordination, decision-making, and communication. The results of this study also suggest that although team-based learning is generally effective, nursing students still face significant challenges, particularly in areas such as time management, motivation, and resolving personality conflicts.
