This study examined the effect of women health nursing problem-based learning programs for nursing students on self-efficacy, self-directed learning, and problem-solving ability. It is a quasi-experimental study for the pre/post- test design of a nonequivalent control group. An experimental group and a control group had 43 participants each for this study (n = 86). This test operated the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) program for the experimental group and gave a lecture instruction class to the control group. The two groups were surveyed to check the program's effect on self-efficacy, self-directed learning, and problem-solving ability at the same time by the pre/post-test. Thus, it was found out that the problem-solving ability was p = .001, and the self-efficacy was p = .005, which meant that the PBL program had significantly influenced. Therefore, it is implied that the PBL program can be helpful to the problem-solving ability and self-efficacy of women health nursing learning. The constant introduction of this program is regarded to be able to develop their creative quality.
