Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of integrating CBL with case-based assessment in obstetrics and gynecology education and its impact on students clinical thinking skills. Methods The study included 40 obstetric and gynecology interns selected from our hospital between December 2023 and October 2024. Participants were randomly divided into two groups using a computerized randomization method: the control group (traditional teaching methods) and the observation group (CBL combined with case-based assessment). Data on relevant indicators for both groups were recorded and statistically analyzed to assess the value of evidence-based nursing pathway intervention. Results Compared to the control group, the observation group showed significant advantages in theoretical knowledge, practical skills, clinical thinking ability, and teaching satisfaction. The P-value was less than 0.05, indicating statistical significance. Conclusion Implementing CBL combined with case-based assessment in obstetric and gynecology education can significantly enhance theoretical knowledge, practical skills, clinical thinking ability, and teaching satisfaction. The overall effect is definite and suitable for promotion.
