Tiivistelmä
As the demand for healthcare workers in Finland has continuously increased, international nursing students can be an important workforce. On the other hand, several studies have shown that nursing clinical placement in foreign environment can be stressful for international students because of cultural and language differences.
This thesis project was conducted in cooperation with the Lahti University of Applied Sciences (LUAS). The purpose of the project was to help foreign nursing students with limited Finnish skills prepare for their surgical training. Furthermore, this project is expected to aid international students’ training process at surgery wards in Finland.
The aim of this project was to create an English guideline containing the most important information about surgical placement for nursing students with limited Finnish skills. This guide can also be useful for nursing educators at LUAS. It will be free to download the guideline from the Internet.
This thesis project was practice-oriented as well as theoretical knowledge-based. The information search was evidence-based and up to date. To summarize the project, it was proposed that further actions and developments are needed to improve experiences of foreign nursing students at clinical placements.
