Tiivistelmä
As the Finnish population is ageing, the country as well needs more young individuals to enter the labour market. This opened the nation’s doors to more immigrants and see a growth in employment-related as well as education-related migration. In terms of the latter, the increased number of international students also comes with a possible increased need to maintain their holistic health needs. However, there are a number of considerable factors that often interfere with meeting these people’s health necessities.
The purpose of this study is to gather relevant data about the holistic health services available to international students in Seinäjoki area and develop it into a comprehensive information leaflet. The goal of this thesis is to increase the awareness of international students through offering them information about the Finnish healthcare system that can be accessed in different situations.
This is attained by compiling an information leaflet that includes a list and location of various accessible holistic health services. The leaflet is easily comprehensible because it is written in English.
The data was collected using a qualitative research method namely the Action Research methodological approach, and the Service Design model was utilised to design the end-product, which is an information leaflet.
Ultimately, healthcare services available to international students were summarized into a three-fold information leaflet.
Further research studies and prospective initiatives still have a lot of possibility in the future for the purpose of continuing creating methods and materials to improve the awareness of the existence and use of healthcare services in different aspects, particularly for immigrants who are not yet familiar with the local language.
