Tiivistelmä
Nursing documentation is one of the fundamental tasks of each and every nurse. Careful documentation improves the information flow about patients’ health and wellbeing related matters between different health care professionals. A good information flow provides continuity of care and improves its quality. This thesis was a project made by following the Agile project management method. The product of this thesis was learning material including Finnish-English vocabulary used in documentation of nursing interventions in Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
Nursing documentation may become even more challenging when written in a foreign language. Hence, the objective of this thesis was to support the learning process of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse nursing students (CALD) of Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) to enhance their knowledge on nursing documentation and Finnish vocabulary used in documentation of nursing interventions of ADL. The objective was to ease the transition into a professional life and improve the outcomes of the clinical practice, by reducing the occurrence of negative experiences connected with the language barrier.
