Tiivistelmä
In Finland, International nursing students undergo clinical practices at hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation centres during their studies. Proper orientation into these settings is crucial for effective integration and performance. Although the nursing programme is taught in English, clinical training for English speaking students is conducted in Finnish language. Consequently, international students are expected to have substantial proficiency in the Finnish language. These language requirements can lead to significant stress as students navigate a new environment.
The project aimed to produce orientation material in English language for Treatment Ward T2 of Pori City Hospital. The objective is to facilitate the smooth supervision of international nursing students and to aid them in understanding the workflow in the Treatment ward (T2)
The project utilized Agile methodology because of its flexibility and adaptability to change throughout the project life cycle. It was structured into four phases: initiation, planning, implementation, and closing. The final product was printed on A4 sized paper which consists of 19 pages divided into five main subheadings: introduction, department workflow, documentation, student orientation, and medication. Additionally, it is also available in a soft copy format.
The project identifies the importance of English language orientation materials for international nursing students in the Treatment ward (T2) of Pori City Hospital. This idea enhances the nursing competence of students, promoting safety and quality of patient care. Additionally, it recommends extending this initiative to other wards in the Satakunta region and the Finnish healthcare system to create a more inclusive and culturally sensitive environment for international nursing students.
