The SPA Nursing Care for the 3rd Millennium project has produced a comprehensive collection of open educational resources designed to support vocational nursing education across Europe. All materials have been developed through international cooperation between partner organisations from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Greece and Türkiye and are freely available through the project platform. The project focuses on improving competencies in spa nursing care, balneotherapy, rehabilitation, patient education and the use of digital educational tools.
The Educational Programme provides a modern curriculum for teaching spa nursing care, integrating evidence-based practice, rehabilitation, balneotherapy, patient safety and digital competencies.
80 worksheet topics have been developed to support both classroom teaching and independent learning. Each worksheet is available in English and in the national languages of all partner countries, allowing students and teachers to use the materials in an international as well as local educational environment.
The project includes 28 practical tutorials covering key procedures and competencies in spa nursing care, rehabilitation and patient education.
A total of 28 interactive tests have been created to assess students' knowledge and support formative and summative evaluation.
The multilingual SPA Nursing Dictionary introduces professional terminology related to spa nursing care, balneology, rehabilitation procedures, medical equipment and patient care, facilitating communication and learning across partner countries.
