This research aims to explain the effect of problem-based micro learning on nursing students' knowledge level, self-directed learning, and reflective thinking skills regarding the need for movement.

This study aims to use problem-based microlearning strategies in an integrated manner so that students can comprehend information in depth rather than just superficially and use this information effectively in a clinical setting. The application of problem-based micro learning to first-year nursing students regarding the need for movement constitutes the original aspect of the study. The research is expected to contribute to the literature in terms of the development of knowledge-based skills such as positioning patients, safe transfer, and joint mobilization movements.
