Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Disparities
  • Indigenous Health

Background:

  • The Sami population in Norway faces challenges in accessing equitable health and social services.
  • Government initiatives aim to ensure the Sami population experiences healthcare comparable to the general population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient satisfaction with municipal General Practitioner (GP) services among the Sami population.
  • To compare satisfaction levels between Sami and Norwegian speakers in areas with mixed populations.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional population study utilizing questionnaires.
  • Data collected from the 2002-2004 SAMINOR study, including 15,612 individuals aged 36-79.
  • Analysis focused on satisfaction with municipal GP services.

Main Results:

  • Sami-speaking patients reported significantly lower overall satisfaction with GP services compared to Norwegian speakers (RR 2.4).
  • Lower satisfaction was linked to physician language skills (RR 5.8) and increased frequency of misunderstandings (RR 3.8).
  • A notable portion (one-third) of Sami speakers preferred not to use interpreters.

Conclusions:

  • Physician language competency is a critical factor influencing Sami patient satisfaction.
  • Prioritizing language skills in GP hiring within Sami language administrative areas is essential.
  • Enhancing physician communication abilities can improve the quality of care for Sami patients.
