Aim To explore nursing students’ experiences of applying problem‐based learning to train the core competence teamwork and collaboration. Design The study used a qualitative descriptive design. Method The data were collected using individual interviews with a purposive sample of 11 students and analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Results The students’ experiences of applying problem‐based learning to train the core competence teamwork and collaboration were described in two generic categories: prerequisites to train teamwork and collaboration and abilities practised in the base group. The generic category “prerequisites to train teamwork and collaboration” includes three subcategories: previous experience and education, composition of the base group, and common goals and values in the base group. The generic category “abilities practised in the base group” includes four subcategories: taking personal responsibility, practising role distribution and leadership, developing communication skills and creating togetherness in the base group.
