Methodology: A descriptive with case studies reviewed used by extracting data from many articles related to problem-based learning in community health which borrowed and assessed from E-books and e-journal websites like CINAHEL, EBISCO, and Google Scholar, etc. After that, the data was critically analyzed and evaluated related to the application of problem-based learning on undergraduate nursing students. Result: The result appeared that most of the research studies proved and supported the application of problem-based learning as effective learning paradigm for undergraduate nursing students in community health, and students can solve patients’ problems in a better way by using the problem-based learning method.
