Nursing is a profession that closely related to human life, and nurses are required to demonstrate critical thinking and creativity in providing health care services. However, traditional teaching approaches usually limit students' autonomy and freedom of expressing their thoughts and feelings. In order to develop the corresponding competence of nursing students, I adopted three teaching innovations, namely writing poems, composing songs, and using role plays in a nursing problem-based learning class in a university in Hong Kong. According to students' reflective notes and comments from two international expert reviewers, participating in these activities is a valuable experience and students were able to develop clinical reasoning, empathy, team spirit, motivation to learn, creativity, and ability to summarise and reconstruct knowledge. It is hoped that more innovative learning activities will be implemented, to prepare professional and ethical nurses in the future. It is also hoped that this study could provide other PBL educators some insights in innovative problem-based learning activities.
护理是一门与人类生活密切相关的专业，要求护士在提供医疗保健服务时展现批判性思维和创造力。然而，传统教学方法通常会限制学生的自主性以及表达想法和感受的自由。为培养护理专业学生的相应能力，我在香港一所大学的护理问题导向学习课程中采用了三种教学创新方法，即写诗、作曲和角色扮演。根据学生的反思笔记以及两位国际专家评审的评论，参与这些活动是一次宝贵的经历，学生们能够培养临床推理能力、同理心、团队精神、学习动力、创造力以及总结和重构知识的能力。希望未来能开展更多创新性学习活动，培养出专业且有职业道德的护士。也希望本研究能为其他基于问题的学习教育者在创新性问题导向学习活动方面提供一些见解。
