Developing Cultural Self-Awareness for Intervention in Diversity Contexts: A Scoping Review
In a diversity intervention context, the practitioner may have biases and stereotypes related to their own cultural background that will influence their approach. Developing cultural self-awareness could help reduce the manifestation of these biases and stereotypes. However, it is likely to be one of the least researched aspects of intercultural competence. This scoping study was conducted to provide an overview of how cultural self-awareness is …
Interpreting is an emotional effort: Public service interpreters’ coping strategies in emotionally charged situations
Public service interpreters are at risk of burnout and vicarious trauma, as are all practitioners in the helping professions. A few rare studies on this subject show the almost systematic absence of support offered to interpreters to face these challenges. Furthermore, training and theories describing the practice of interpreting ignore the emotional aspect of this type of work. The main objective of this study is to highlight the strategies used…
Physical characteristics of digital characters influence group categorization and recognition of affective states
Ethnic bias in social group categorization and recognition of affective states persist in diverse countries like Canada, potentially affecting interactions with minority groups. With the growing use of digital characters (DCs) across various settings, it becomes crucial to explore whether these biases extend to virtual environments to mitigate these issues. This study created and validated 16 realistic DCs to examine how individuals perceive thei…
On equal footing? The impact of patient companions on Lifeworld integration and patient-centeredness in linguistically diverse emergency consultations
Since poor Lifeworld management negatively impacts care, clinicians should be trained to detect and manage role dynamics and relevant situational factors in PC-mediated multilingual consultations to protect patients' right to high-quality communication and healthcare
Training on the Cultural Formulation Interview and self-assessed cultural competence in practitioners working in student counseling services
The use of the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), a semi-structured 16-item cultural assessment developed for the DSM-5, has not yet been evaluated in the context of post-secondary education campuses (Cégeps and universities). The aim of this study was to assess whether a 2-h training session on the CFI improved cultural competence in clinicians working in student counseling centers throughout the province of Québec as well as to evaluate the …

Intimate racism from one's partner in young intercultural couples
Racism from one's partner is a highly sensitive phenomenon that has received little research attention. The current research introduces the concept of “intimate racism” to refer to racism from close others. The manifestation of intimate racism in intercultural romantic relationships was explored with a sample of 92 racialized minorities who were currently, or previously, in an intercultural relationship. An online survey enquired about the experi…

Pédiatres, parents migrants et interprètes communautaires: Un dialogue de sourds
Cet article présente une partie des résultats obtenu dans le cadre d'une recherche menée dans une policlinique pédiatrique de Suisse romande (Leanza, 2003). S'inscrivant dans le paradigme compréhensif et dans une approche interdisciplinaire, l'objectif de cette étude était de saisir l’expérience de la différence culturelle pour des médecins en spécialisation de pédiatrie pratiquant des « examens de prévention » auprès de familles migrantes

Training and Integrating Public Service Interpreters in a Refugee Health Clinic: A Mixed-Method Approach to Evaluate an Innovative Program
Language barriers can harm refugees’ health, and trained interpreters are a solution to overcome these barriers in all health consultations. This study trained interpreters and integrated them in a refugee clinic. Nepali-speaking migrants were recruited and underwent 50 hours of training to serve as interpreters for recently arrived Bhutanese refugees in Quebec City. To evaluate the project, mixed data were collected. At baseline and follow-up, p…
Implementing and managing remote public service interpreting in response to Covid-19 and other challenges of globalization
Although it has been acknowledged that public service interpreting helps reduce the language barriers faced by migrant populations, these barriers continue to be a significant cause of healthcare inequality. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, remote interpreting appears to be the most appropriate solution to address the health inequalities of migrant populations while intervening to reduce the risk of the virus spreading. The purpose of the rese…
Perceptions des étudiants en ergothérapie et en travail social quant au développement de leurs compétences interculturelles durant la formation initiale
Les professionnels de la santé et du social sont amenés à interagir avec des populations très diverses (âge, origine géographique, langue, religion, état de santé, milieu socioéconomique, etc.), ce qui peut venir modifier la façon d’intervenir. La présente étude vise à explorer la perception des étudiants en ergothérapie et en travail social quant au développement de leurs compétences interculturelles, incluant les stratégies mises en œuvre pour …

Le travail avec l’interprète de service public est complexe et les formations à ce niveau, relativement rares. Le diplôme universitaire (DU) Pratiques de médiation et de traduction en situation transculturelle est une formation continue offerte conjointement à des intervenants de différents champs (médical, social, éducatif) et à des interprètes. Le projet de recherche présenté ici a comme objectif d’explorer les effets de la formation sur la col…
From concern for patients to a quest for information: How medical socialization shapes family physicians’ representations of interpreters
This study of social representations about interpreted medical consultations examines the discourse of French language focus groups (FGs), conducted in Quebec, with 22 third year medical students (4 FGs), 29 family medicine residents (4 FGs) and 47 experienced family physicians (5 FGs). The audio-recorded FGs were transcribed. Each discussed two video vignettes of interpreted consultations. Statistical textual analysis showed that the students’ d…
Risk, Disaster and Crisis Reduction: Mobilizing, Collecting and Sharing Information
In the field of risks and crises, both the access to relevant information and its circulation are seen as crucial factors. Based on a new integrated theoretical model focusing on the stakeholder, the book proposes analysis of information reformulation and circulation in risk environments and crisis situations. Simply circulating the information does not mean that it will be picked up by those who could benefit from it. This has been amply demonst…
Integration of interpreters in mental health interventions with children and adolescents: The need for a framework
Few empirical studies have detailed the specificities of working with interpreters in mental healthcare for children. The integration of interpreters in clinical teams in child mental healthcare was explored in two clinics, in Montreal and Paris. Four focus groups were conducted with interpreters and clinicians. Participants described the development of the working alliance between interpreters and clinicians, the delineation of interpreters' rol…

Roles of community interpreters in pediatrics as seen by interpreters, physicians and researchers
This paper is an attempt at defining more clearly the various roles of community interpreters and the processes implicitly connected with each of them. While the role of the interpreter is a subject that has been widely discussed in the social science literature, it is less present in the biomedical one, which tends to emphasize the importance of interpreting in overcoming language barriers, rather than as a means of building bridges between pati…

La reconnaissance à l’épreuve: Explorations socio-anthropologiques
La « reconnaissance » est à l’ordre du jour de débats tant scientifiques que politiques. Depuis quelques années, la philosophie politique, sous l’impulsion notamment de C. Taylor, M. Walzer, A. Honneth, N. Fraser, fait une place importante à ce concept pour penser la manière dont les sociétés contemporaines « tiennent ensemble », alors qu’elles sont marquées par la pluralité des identités, la montée en puissance de l’individu et de la subjectivit…
