Abstract

Nowadays, professions around the world demand people who are able to use a foreign language effectively as an essential tool for establishing meaningful communication. Absolutely, medical team, especially nurses should speak English well while they are caring patient and communicating to other people. Then, they should report and present medical record in English accurately in order to avoid misunderstanding. The objective of the research is to examine the correlation between the mastery of sentence stress and grammar and the oral presentation of medical record in English by nursing students. The total number of the students of Ngudi Waluyo Nursing Academy, Ungaran was 92 students. Forty-six students were as the sample of the research. They were given grammar test and reading aloud test for getting the data. Then, the oral presentation data was got from their test in National Comprehensive Examination. Nursing lecturers and English lecturers were as the evaluators in this research. The data analysis of this research used inferential statistic: multiple regression and correlation analysis. The research findings show that the mastery of sentence stress has positive effect on the oral presentation of medical record in English as seen from the significant correlation (the correlation coefficient of sentence stress is 0.871 at 0.05 significant level). The mastery of grammar also has positive effect on the oral presentation of medical record in English as seen from the significant correlation (the correlation coefficient of grammar is 0.854 at 0.05 significant level). Then, the mastery of sentence stress and grammar have positive effect or high influence on the oral presentation of medical record in English as seen from R square that is 0.815 (coefficient correlation square is 0.903. The F value is 94,853 and significant value is 0.000. F value is more than F table 3, 20. Based on the result of the research, the mastery of sentence stress and grammar must be focused in teaching English for nursing students because they have positive effect on the oral presentation of medical record in English by nursing students. However, for future research it is probably worth finding out whether other aspects of English language such as wording contribute on the oral presentation of medical record in English by nursing students.
