Tiivistelmä
This thesis aimed to create an educational video that could be used during the orientation of CALD nursing students at Centria University of Applied Sciences. The project was divided into two parts. The first part entailed the theoretical framework which talks about student health promotion, wellbeing, challenges faced by CALD nursing students such as language barriers, cold climate, cultural shock and how universities can support CALD students. The second part of this project consisted of creating a final product, orientation video. The video was designed in an interview-like manner using flash cards. The video highlighted the challenges CALD nursing students face during their studies in Finland and provided potential solutions for dealing with these challenges.
The objectives of the video were to promote wellbeing among CALD nursing students at Centria, to create awareness on the support services available to CALD nursing students at Centria, which most students are not making use of. This video was created to be used during the orientation of incoming CALD nursing students at Centria University of Applied Sciences so they know where and when to seek help if they are faced with some of these challenges. The video began with an introduction which was then followed by a question-and-answer session discussing the challenges and talking about services available for CALD students. The video ended with a piece of advice for the new CALD nursing students.
The thesis and the video were created in accordance with Centria’s guidelines for a thesis. The thesis outlined the importance of evidence-based research as we discovered many other authors have also documented the challenges CALD students face in Finland. The video did not include any sensitive topics or issues which could prove harmful to our viewers. The feedback which was gathered by means of a questionnaire was completely voluntary and the participants remained anonymous.
