Objective: To identify the impact of group case studies on the accurate nursing diagnosis of the students and their perception of NANDA International nursing diagnoses.Method: The sample comprised 164 nursing students from a Department of Nursing in a university. Data was collected with the descriptive characteristics form, Perception of Nursing Diagnoses Scale, students’ opinion about nursing diagnoses form and care plan assessment form. A researcher offered four hours of theoretical training about the nursing process and NANDA International nursing diagnoses. Training was conducted by a researcher after training, the students filled out descriptive characteristics form and the Perception of Nursing Diagnoses Scale. Thereafter, the students were randomly divided into five groups. Each group made two case studies with a researcher every week. After the completion of case studies, the students filled out the forms again.Results:It was determined that the majority (89.6%) of the students were able to make accurate NANDA International diagnoses after case studies. The total score of the students in perception of nursing diagnoses was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Statistically significant difference was obtained in the negative way in the clear representation of patient situation subscale and in the positive way in the ease of use subscale of the scale (p<0.05).Conclusion:Almost of the students were able to determine the accurate NANDA International nursing diagnosis and it didn’t have an effect on the students' perception of nursing diagnoses, but the scale's ease of use subscale had a positive impact.
