Tiivistelmä
Communication is a vital skill in nursing. A nurse needs to understand their patient and be able to talk to their patient in a language they both understand in order to meet the patient’s needs. English-speaking nursing students face an additional challenge during their internships in Finland, as they need to communicate in a language that is not native to them.
English-speaking nursing students need good quality learning material in Finnish that focuses on nursing vocabulary. The digital vocabulary on child and adolescent nursing is the result of two nursing student’s project thesis that aims to help them learn vocabulary related to their child and adolescent nursing internships. The vocabulary can also help other people studying or needing to communicate about children’s or youths’ healthcare needs in either Finnish or English.
The production of the digital vocabulary on child and adolescent nursing required background research on the properties of a good vocabulary, project planning, forming selection criteria to define the content of the vocabulary, choosing the words of the vocabulary using the pre-defined criteria, translating the words included, editing the product based on feedback and forming the presentation of the vocabulary.
The result was a list of words in Finnish and in English that a student can easily reference and study nursing words on child and adolescents from. The digital vocabulary on child and adolescent nursing will be a helpful tool for English-speaking nursing students in Finland in for years to come.
