Outline of Research at the Start

This research aims at assessing a new nursing English curriculum designed to promote cultural and linguistic competence as important factors for patient safety and health outcomes. We will survey 180 students from undergraduate to graduate levels using our own intercultural nursing questionnaire. This research will provide 1) clearer guidelines for teaching nursing English, 2) better engagement in nursing students, and 3) new curriculum assessment tools for nursing English curricula.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We collected complete quantitative and qualitative survey data from 50 volunteer undergraduate students over 2 years. The data focused on the usage of nursing English for academic purposes by students enrolled in elective courses and the data included students from two speaking courses, one writing course, one presentation course, and one web-based exchange program (Collaborative Online International Learning). The new English curriculum at Chiba University School of Nursing was shown to provide a continuous and impactful connection to English as a lingua franca in terms of increasing students' openness to other ways of communicating verbally or non-verbally, promoting critical thinking and cultural self-awareness, and acquiring practical skills to use English in a nursing context. Our results were shared in international conferences and published in science education outlets.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Our results support the implementation of English language courses in nursing education to facilitate the acquisition of general openness in Japanese students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
