Abstract Project-Based Learning (PBL) is recognized as one of the key transformative learning strategies that fosters deeper engagement and professional growth. Team dynamics—the patterns of interaction, communication, and behavior among team members—play a critical role in the effectiveness of PBL. This study aimed to assess and understand the team dynamics among nursing students engaged in PBL A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 113 nursing students from selected institution. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire (Google form) comprising 15 Likert-scale items focused on key team dynamics domains such as communication, role clarity, accountability, conflict resolution, and leadership. Demographic details including age, academic year, type of family, residence, and geographical area were collected. The mean team dynamic score was 59.16, indicating an overall positive experience. Among the participants, 79 students (69.9%) reported positive team dynamics, 33 (29.2%) reported moderate, and 1 student (0.9%) reported a negative experience. Chi-square analysis showed statistically significant associations between team dynamic scores and age (p<0.05), type of family (p<0.05), and batch (p>0.05). The findings highlight that most nursing students experienced positive team dynamics during PBL activities. Factors such as supportive peer interaction, effective leadership, and clearly defined roles contributed to team effectiveness. The results underscore the importance of fostering collaborative skills and reflective practices in nursing education to enhance team-based learning.
