Tiivistelmä
Surgical nursing is a broad area of nursing. It includes the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative nursing interventions. As in any nursing specialty, communication is a vital part of keeping the quality-of-care high. To be able to communicate well, one must be capable of the target language. A crucial part of mastering a language is the study of vocabulary.
International nursing students’ learning objectives in nursing education in Finland are twofold: learning the profession and learning the language. This digital vocabulary is targeted at supporting the students in the mastery of the professional Finnish language, especially surgical nursing vocabulary.
The project was conducted using the waterfall method of project implementation. The project was conducted towards the fields of characteristics of a high-quality digital vocabulary, the specialty of surgical nursing, the importance of communication, and excellent educational material. The project outcome was a digital vocabulary about surgical nursing terminology.
The project resulted in a list of words once presented from English to Finnish, and once from Finnish to English. Furthermore, a study set on the digital learning platform Quizlet was produced to further support the learning process of the students.
