This study aims to explore the application effectiveness of PBL combined with clinical pathway teaching in enhancing clinical teaching quality across multiple dimensions. Methods: Sixty nurses undergoing internship in the Department of Neurology at Baoying County People's Hospital from March to December 2024 were enrolled. Participants were grouped using a combination of classification and random assignment into a traditional teaching group and a PBL combined with clinical pathway teaching group, each comprising 30 individuals. Differences in observed indicators between the two groups were compared. Results indicated that the intervention group demonstrated superior performance compared to the control group in theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and teaching effectiveness evaluations, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Thus, the PBL combined with clinical pathway teaching model effectively enhances nursing interns' theoretical knowledge, clinical operational capabilities, and teaching satisfaction in neurology. This approach multidimensionally improves clinical nursing education quality.
