Students answered a survey about their experience with DBL. Quantitative survey results are reported with descriptive statistics. Open-ended questions and instructor and student interview data were qualitatively analyzed.ResultsStudents had a positive experience with DBL and gained self-efficacy regarding ABG analysis. The tool was engaging, simple to use, and not overly time-consuming.ConclusionsDBL can be a useful tool for teaching ABG analysis to nursing students.
