Enquiry-based learning is a well-recognised tool in nurse education internationally. It is a pedagogical activity formed around the construction of a ‘scene’ that provides a platform for critical enquiry. Nursing education has been greatly influenced by the development of ICT and the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of online learning tools, especially in nursing education, is important for nurses to become proficient in the use of information technology. In inquiry-based learning, everything begins with a "big question" (Albion, 2015). The requirements for inquiry-based learning include independence, autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and creativity. The nursing process refers to the process by which a nurse provides nursing care to a patient. This process consists of five components: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, nursing implementation, and evaluation. Nursing education often follows these processes. The examples used there are presented in advance. This allows the students to follow the nursing process. This leads to the development of the nursing process without any knowledge of the patient's background other than interest in, understanding of, and information about the patient. Therefore, with a focus on inquiry-based learning, we wondered if this problem could be complemented by having the nursing students themselves reflect on the case study. The nursing students were given a case study tool to create a patient profile and learn to think about assistance. Result, we believe that learning to create patient case studies is effective in developing interest and concern for the subject and in developing nursing care.
