 1. INTRODUCTION
ENGLISH AS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE

As we know, the international language in the world is English.

English is the most spoken language in the world. It is the
mother tongue of more than 400 million people worldwide. Every
day millions of people speak English at work and in social life.

In the field of nursing, English language skills are needed

because most of the medical equipment and medicines come
from abroad. Good English Language communication skills also
very important for nurses as they are service providers to
patients and deal with doctors, medical support staff and
relatives of patients.

In terms of education, English can be very useful for gaining

knowledge about nursing which mostly comes from international
journals whose language is definitely English.

A great deal of nursing activity is embedded

in what is considered to be everyday conversation.

In their conversations, nurses elicit specific information, normalize unpleasant

procedures, manage the flow of the interaction, and strengthen the
therapeutic relationship. Small talk can be big talk in achieving nursing goals.

BECOMING A GOOD NURSE

HOW TO BE A GOOD NURSE

D3 Keperawatan – STIKes Karsa Husada Garut Page 1

Being a nurse is more than just getting your degree. Being a nurse requires you to have very specific
skills in order to provide the best possible care to your patients, including the core attributes of genuine
caring, nurturing, ability to teach, being health conscious and a good communicator. Being a good
nurse means you excel at these skills and consider them essential to the work you do every day. These
skills can be developed in advance of a career in nursing, but you may not know your success
performing some of these skills until you’re on the job.
(Medically reviewed by Luba Lee, FNP-BC, MS )

PREPARING YOURSELF TO BE A GOOD NURSE

Step 1. Think critically
Critical thinking is a process by which you review the situation, analyze what’s going on, and
question what you don’t know. It is complex and you have to think several moves ahead. You need to
be able to assess a patient critically to determine his medical needs.
Step 2. Communicate effectively.
Communicating effectively means you can listen well when someone else is speaking to you, and
that you can speak clearly and concisely to someone else (e.g. patient, doctor, other nurses, family
members, etc.). As a nurse you’re also likely to make a lot of notes whether in a physical chart or on the
computer, therefore you must also be able to communicate effectively in writing as you may not be
there in person to explain what you meant.
Step 3. Be detail-oriented.
Being detail-oriented means you pay attention to both the big stuff and the small stuff. When
dealing with a patient, even the smallest anomaly or symptom can be a big deal, so you need to always
be paying attention. Being detail-oriented means you ensure all your patients get the exact treatment
they need, when they need it
Step 4. Organize efficiently.
Nurses, especially those working in a hospital, need to deal with multiple patients at the same
time. Each patient has their own personal requirements that are critical to their well-being. As a nurse
you need to be able to organize yourself to keep track of who each of your patients are, what their
treatments are, when they need their treatments, and the small details about the patient that will help
them feel better (both physically and emotionally).
Step 5. Maintain physical stamina.
Physical stamina isn’t just about being able to do physical activities; it is about being able to do
them over a long period of time, over and over again. Most nurses will be on their feet for their entire
shift, which can last 12 hours or more.
Step 6. React and think quickly.
Being able to think and react quickly comes with experience and confidence. Reacting quickly
doesn’t mean forgoing critical thinking; it means going through the critical thinking process quickly and
carrying out your decision immediately. Thinking and reacting quickly can also include knowing when
it’s time to get help from someone else ASAP.

Step 7. Understand and have the ability to be compassionate.

One of a nurse's main jobs is to take direct care of patients. You’ll likely see these people at their
worst. Nurses need to understand that their patients are human beings that are probably stressed,

D3 Keperawatan – STIKes Karsa Husada Garut Page 2

scared, depressed, upset, in pain, and confused. This understanding requires the ability to be
compassionate and empathetic. Being able to put yourself in your patient’s shoes will help you
understand what she's going through, and what she needs from you.
Step 8. Have emotional stability.
As a nurse you need to be able to control your emotions while you’re on the job, and not allow
those emotions to cloud your judgement or slow your reaction time. Being emotionally stable doesn’t
mean keeping all your emotions bottled-up forever. It means knowing when the time is right for letting
those emotions out and allowing you that emotional release on a regular basis. Try exercise, time with
friends, yoga, reading, and developing hobbies.
Step 9. Take responsibility.
Being a responsible nurse means not cutting any corners. Not allowing yourself to make an error,
but if you do, making sure the proper people know about the error you made and making sure it’s
corrected as soon as possible. Being responsible also means using your best judgement when
evaluating a patient' needs and making good decisions that are in the best interests of your patients.
Step 10. Respect everyone.
In addition being compassionate, empathetic, and sympathetic to your patients and their needs,
you also need to be respectful and not treating patients differently because of their backgrounds,
ethnicity or personality. Being respectful of your patients also means being truthful with them. When
communicating news — good or bad — you need to understand that the patient has the right to
honesty. Be straight-forward with your patients, but do it respectfully and with compassion.
Step 11. Keep calm under pressure and during a crisis.
Keeping calm means maintaining your level-headedness. It means having confidence in what
you’re doing and the decisions you’re making. Your confidence will grow not only throughout your
education, but the longer you’re on the job. As a nurse, you can’t panic when something unexpected
happens, and you can’t freeze up because you aren’t sure what to do.
Step 12. Adapt to new and constantly changing situations.
As a nurse no two days will ever be the same. While you may have some routine, it is likely that
the routine will also change every now and again. No two patients are going to behave the same, even
when they’re getting the exact same treatment. Nurses need to be adaptable and flexible.
Step 13. Improve your knowledge constantly.
Nurses, just like many professions, are constantly learning. Whether they learn through a formal
classroom environment, or simply by observing, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are constantly
improving your knowledge and skills, and recognizing specific areas where you might need
improvement. It also means receiving feedback from your peers and supervisors critically, and working
with your supervisor and others to correct any deficiencies you have with your skills.

There is not a single skill you learn as a nurse that can’t be used effectively somewhere else. If
you ever decide to move away from nursing, don’t consider you time as a nurse to be a waste. It’s
actually quite the opposite. Use the skills you learned as a nurse and apply them to any other job you
decide to take on.

2. STRUCTURE & GRAMMAR
SIMPLE SENTENCE AND PART OF SPEECH IN ENGLISH

D3 Keperawatan – STIKes Karsa Husada Garut Page 3

STRUCTURE: SIMPLE SENTENCE
In English, sentence structure is the arrangement of words, phrases, and clauses in a sentence. There
are four basic types of sentence structures; those are the simple sentence, the compound sentence,
the complex sentence, and the compound-complex sentence. But now we’re just going to discuss
about Simple Sentence. The most common word order in English sentences is Subject-Verb-Object
(SVO).

Study the following sentence:

Subject Predicate (Verb - Object/ Complement)
1 English is the international language in the world.
Subject Auxiliary Non-Verb Object Complement
2 Millions of people speak English at work and in social life.
Subject Verb Object Complement
Notes:
 There are 4 types of auxiliary word (kata bantu) in English: be, do, have, and modals
 Auxiliary be/ to be (am, is, are) used when the predicate is non-verb ( bukan kata kerja) and auxiliary
words do, have or modal used when the predicate is verb (kata kerja)
 Complement can be in a form of Noun, Adjective or Adverb, while Object is always in the form of
Noun

From the table, we can see that simple sentence can be built from the simple structure, that is:

SUBJECT + PREDICATE (VERB – OBJECT/ COMPLEMENT)

EXERCISE 1:
Now, try to make another simple sentence!

GRAMMAR: PART OF SPEECH IN ENGLISH

Grammar is the way we arrange words to make proper sentences. Words in English can be categorized
into 9 basic types called "Parts of Speech" or "Word Classes". It's quite important to recognize parts of
speech. This helps you to analyze sentences and understand them.

To analyze the part of speech, ask yourself: "What job is this word doing in this sentence?"

Many words in English can have more than one job, or be more than one part of speech.
For example, "WORK" can be a verb (I work in a hospital) and a noun (My work is easy)

You can see from the following table, a summary of THE 9 PARTS OF SPEECH:

THE STORY OF PIONEER NURSING IN THE WORLD

STORY 1: RUFAIDAH BINT SA’AD

Historical Roots of the Nursing Profession in Islam

D3 Keperawatan – STIKes Karsa Husada Garut Page 8

Rufaidah bint Sa'ad is recognized as the first professional nurse in Islamic history. She lived at the time
of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the 1st century AH/8th century CE. Her full name was Rufaidah
bint Sa'ad of the Bani Aslam tribe of the Khazraj tribal confederation in Madinah. She was born in
Yathrib before the migration of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She was among the first people in
Madina to accept Islam and was one of the Ansar women who welcomed the Prophet on arrival in
Madina.

Rufaidah's father was a physician. She learned medical care by working as his assistant. Her history
illustrates all the attributes expected of a good nurse. She was kind and empathetic. She was a capable
leader and organizer able to mobilize and get others to produce good work. She had clinical skills that
she shared with the other nurses whom she trained and worked with. She did not confine her nursing to
the clinical situation. She went out to the community and tried to solve the social problems that lead to
disease. She was both a public health nurse and a social worker.

When the Islamic state was well established in Madina, Rufaidah devoted herself to nursing the Muslim
sick. In peace time she set up a tent outside the Prophet's mosque in Madina where she nursed the
sick. During war she led groups of volunteer nurses who went to the battlefield and treated the
casualties. Rufaidah's field hospital tent became very famous during the battles and the Prophet used
to direct that the casualties be carried to her.

Rufaidah had trained a group of women companions as nurses. When the Prophet's army was getting
ready to go to the battle of Khaibar, Rufaidah and the group of volunteer nurses went to the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH). They asked him for permission "Oh messenger of Allah, we want to go out with
you to the battle and treat the injured and help Muslims as much as we can". The Prophet gave them
permission to go. The nurse volunteers did such a good job that the Prophet assigned a share of the
booty to Rufaidah. Her share was equivalent to that of soldiers who had actually fought. This was in
recognition of her medical and nursing work.

Rufaidah's contribution was not confined only to nursing the injured. She was involved in social work in
the community. She came to the assistance of every Muslim in need: the poor, the orphans, or the
handicapped. She looked after the orphans, nursed them, and taught them. Rufaidah had a kind and
empathetic personality that soothed the patients in addition to the medical care that she provided. The
human touch is a very important aspect of nursing that is unfortunately being forgotten as the balance
between the human touch and technology in nursing is increasingly tilted in favor of technology.

(Taken from the Paper of Prof. Dr. Omar Hasan Kasule, Sr. ;Presented at the 3rd International Nursing Conference
"Empowerment and Health: An Agenda for Nurses in the 21st Century" held in Brunei 1st-4th November 1998)

 STORY 2: FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE:
The lady with the lamp
Florence Nightingale was a pioneer in the field of nursing. She found the
profession of nursing and reformed sanitary practices in hospitals. She developed
the "polar-area diagram" to dramatize the needless deaths caused by unsanitary
conditions and the need for reform. With her analysis, Florence Nightingale
revolutionized the idea that social phenomena could be objectively measured and
subjected to mathematical analysis. She was an innovator in the collection,
tabulation, interpretation, and graphical display of descriptive statistics. These great achievements are
more amazing when you consider that most Victorian women could not attend university or pursue a
professional career.

She was born in Italy in 1820 and was named after her birthplace. She was the daughter of a wealthy
landowner, William Nightingale, a well-educated man who believed that all people should receive an
education, and both Florence and her sister Parthenope were taught Greek, Latin, German, History,
Philosophy and Mathematics. At the age of 25 Florence had already made up her mind to follow a
career in nursing. Her parents were totally opposed to this, but Florence’s devotion and determination
managed to convince them and she had got her father’s permission to train as a nurse.

In 1854, Britain, France and Turkey were at war with Russia. The public were shocked by reports of the
disgraceful conditions that the sick and wounded British soldiers because to endure. Florence decided
to help, and immediately went to Turkey, in charge of a group of 38 nurses, to work in military hospitals,
where conditions were appalling. The soldiers were filthy, there were lots of rats and fleas, and supplies
were limited.

8. PART OF THE BODY & HEALTH PROBLEMS

When working in English, one of the first things you need to know is the human body parts. You will
need to learn the names of the internal (inside the skin) and external body parts. You will also need to
learn the words for the functions of each of these body parts.
Here are the basics to get you started.

D3 Keperawatan – STIKes Karsa Husada Garut Page 14

 Head
Inside the head is the brain, which is responsible for thinking. The top of a person's
scalp is covered with hair. Beneath the hairline at the front of the face is the forehead.
Underneath the forehead are the eyes for seeing, the nose for smelling, and the mouth
for eating. On the outside of the mouth are the lips, and on the inside of the mouth are
the teeth for biting and the tongue for tasting. Food is swallowed down the throat. At the
sides of the face are the cheeks and at the sides of the head are the ears for hearing. At
the bottom of a person's face is the chin. The jaw is located on the inside of the cheeks
and chin. The neck is what attaches the head to the upper body.

Upper Body
At the top and front of the upper body, just below the neck is the collar bone. On the
front side of the upper body is the chest, which in women includes the breasts. Babies
suck on the nipples of their mother's breasts. Beneath the ribcage are the stomach
and the waist. The navel, more commonly referred to as the belly button, is located
here as well. On the inside of the upper body are the heart for pumping blood and the
lungs for breathing. The rear side of the upper body is called the back, inside which
the spine connects the upper body to the lower body.

Upper Limbs (arms)

The arms are attached to the shoulders. Beneath this area is called the armpit or
underarm. The upper arms have the muscles known as triceps and biceps. The joint
halfway down the arm is called the elbow. Between the elbow and the next joint, the
wrist, is the forearm. Below the wrist is the hand with four fingers and one thumb. Beside
the thumb is the index finger. Beside the index finger is the middle finger, followed by
the ring finger and the little finger. At the ends of the fingers are fingernails.

Lower Body
Below the waist, on left and right, are the hips. Between the hips are the reproductive
organs, the penis (male) or the vagina (female). At the back of the lower body are the
buttocks for sitting on. They are also commonly referred to as the rear end or the bum
(especially with children). The internal organs in the lower body include the intestines
for digesting food, the bladder for holding liquid waste, as well as the liver and the
kidneys. This area also contains the woman's uterus, which holds a baby when a
woman is pregnant.
Lower Limbs (legs)
The top of the leg is called the thigh, and the joint in the middle of the leg is the knee.
The front of the lower leg is the shin and the back of the lower leg is the calf. The ankle
connects the foot to the leg. Each foot has five toes. The smallest toe is often called the
little toe while the large one is called the big toe. At the ends of the toes are toenails.

12. ADMISSION TO HOSPITAL

Admission is the act or process of accepting someone into a hospital, clinic, or other treatment facility
as an inpatient. While Admission form/card/ note is part of a medical record that documents the
patient's status (including history and physical examination findings), reasons why the patient is being
admitted for inpatient care to a hospital or other facility, and the initial instructions for that patient's care.
A nurse needs to ask several questions to fill in the admission form. There are three basic question
types:
 Yes/No: the answer is "yes or no"

13. NURSING DOCUMENTATION

The Need for Good Records: Anything that makes reference to a patient, such as a care
plan or diary, can be used as evidence in a law court. Care plans and diaries are used, for
example, when investigating complaints of medical negligence or professional misconduct

Medical form and documentation are not standardized; they vary between hospital and even
between departments in the same hospital. Sometimes “Nursing Instructions” are called “Nursing
Interventions”; sometimes “Eating and Drinking” is called “Food and Fluid Intake”, sometimes “Daily
Living” is called “Work and Play” and sometimes “Aims and Objectives” are called “Discharge Goals”,
“Intended Goals”, and so, on.

D3 Keperawatan – STIKes Karsa Husada Garut Page 26

 Things like Patient Care Plans are usually hand-written, not typed, and usually written quickly
by people in a hurry in short note form- not full sentences. Notes are not complete and “good” English;
they are full abbreviations, arrows crossing the paper here and there, slashes, asterisks, stars, dots,
underlining, etc. sometimes it is difficult to understand another person’s notes – hard enough in your
own language – extra difficult in a language not your own. Sometimes medical abbreviations differ
according to the field of healthcare. For example, POP is “Plaster of Paris in Orthopedics” and
“Posterior Occipital Position” in Midwifery

TIPS ON WRITING NURSING REPORT/ NURSING DOCUMENTATION:

 Ensure the statements are factual and recorded in consecutive order, as
they happen. Only record what you, as the nurse, see, hear, or do.
 Do not use jargon, meaningless phrases, or personal opinions (e.g., “the
patient's vision appears blurred” or “the patient's vision appears to be
improving”). If you want to make a comment about changes in the patient's
vision, check the visual acuity and record it.
 Do not use an abbreviation unless you are sure that it is commonly
understood and in general use. For example, BP and VA are in general use
and would be safe to use on records when commenting on blood pressure
and visual acuity, respectively.
 Do not speculate, make offensive statements, or use humor about the
patient. Patients have the right to see their records!
 If you make an error, cross it out with one clear line through it, and sign. Do
not use sticky labels or correction fluid.
 Write legibly and in clear, short sentences.
 Remember, some information you have been given by the patient may be
confidential. Think carefully and decide whether it is necessary to record it
in writing where anyone may be able to read it; all members of the eye care
team, and also the patient and relatives, have a right to access nursing
records.

Kepuasan pasien terhadap asuhan keperawatan: kasus poliklinik kandungan dan kebidanan
Penulis: Akbas Cukurova, Universitas Meltem

Abstrak
Asuhan keperawatan merupakan faktor yang efektif untuk memungkinkan kualitas pelayanan
kesehatan berada pada tingkat yang diinginkan. Prinsip etik keadilan dan kejujuran penting untuk
meningkatkan mutu asuhan keperawatan dan kepuasan pasien. Penelitian ini menentukan tingkat
kepuasan terhadap asuhan keperawatan pasien rawat inap di klinik ginekologi dan kebidanan dari
berbagai jenis rumah sakit yang memberikan pelayanan kesehatan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian
deskriptif dan cross-sectional. Sampel terdiri dari 420 pasien wanita yang dirawat di klinik ginekologi
dan kebidanan. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan "Formulir Sosio-demografi Pasien" dan "Skala
Kepuasan Perawatan Newcastle." Tingkat kepuasan asuhan keperawatan peserta menurut rumah sakit
adalah sebagai berikut: Rumah Sakit A 70,68±15,51, Rumah Sakit B 70,65±15,17, Rumah Sakit C
65,41±16,48, Rumah Sakit D 71,39±14,66, dan total 67,2±16,13. Ada hubungan yang signifikan
secara statistik antara tingkat kepuasan keperawatan peserta berdasarkan rumah sakit, status
perkawinan, usia, tingkat pendapatan, dan lama tinggal di rumah sakit. Tingkat kepuasan peserta
tentang asuhan keperawatan berada di atas rata-rata. Sementara tingkat kepuasan serupa
berdasarkan rumah sakit, tingkat kepuasan untuk rumah sakit swasta, rumah sakit pelatihan dan
penelitian, dan rumah sakit universitas lebih tinggi daripada rumah sakit umum.
Kata kunci: perawat, perawatan, kepuasan, etika
