We conducted an observational study with 150 undergraduate nursing students to verify the usefulness of problem-based learning in the classroom and to ascertain whether this methodology facilitated the development of their knowledge acquisition skills. Problem-based learning fostered the development of integrated knowledge acquisition skills among nursing students.
