This study investigates the challenges of teaching anatomy vocabulary using contextual learning in nursing education. It emphasizes the importance of anatomical knowledge in clinical practice and the requirement for effective vocabulary education that is adapted to the nursing situation. Data were acquired using a qualitative approach, including classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers. The findings show that nursing students frequently struggle with technical jargon, which impedes their communication and understanding in clinical situations. The study also finds gaps in teaching materials and methodologies, indicating that a more engaging and practical approach is required. To improve vocabulary learning and better prepare students for their future healthcare occupations, recommendations for strengthening educator training and generating appropriate materials are presented.
