Exploring Linguistic and Cultural Concordance in Care: Barriers and Facilitators Encountered by Nurse Practitioners and Nurses in the Champlain Region
About
In this project we explored the experiences of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and nurses providing linguistic and culturally discordant care in the Champlain region. Given the increasing diversity in Eastern Ontario and Canada, the demand for non-English language services is expanding. Our goal was to understand how NPs and nurses provide care, especially to those whose primary language is not English. We compared findings with our other concurrent studies on the experiences of language discordance in family physicians, home care, and in interprofessional teams working in primary health care settings for a more comprehensive understanding of impacts of language discordance on patient care. This project has helped us to improve care quality for our diverse and growing population.
