    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Health Services Research
    • Medical Interpretation

    Background:

    • Foreign-born workers face disproportionately high occupational injury rates.
    • Limited English proficiency (LEP) hinders access to essential healthcare services for these workers.
    • Medical interpreters (MIs) currently facilitate care for acutely injured LEP patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the potential of MIs to act as patient advocates for LEP individuals injured at work.
    • To explore the capacity of MIs to deliver occupational health preventive messages.
    • To understand MI perspectives on supporting foreign-born workers with occupational injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative study involving interviews and a focus group with medical interpreters.
    • Exploration of MIs' attitudes towards foreign-born workers.
    • Assessment of MIs' knowledge of occupational health and perceived roles in patient care.

    Main Results:

    • MIs demonstrated familiarity with occupational injuries and expressed sympathy for foreign-born workers.
    • MIs identified their roles as conduits, cultural brokers, and advocates for both healthcare systems and patients.
    • MIs are perceived as valuable in facilitating communication and care for LEP patients with work-related injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • Medical interpreters are well-positioned to serve as advocates and educators for foreign-born workers with occupational injuries.
    • Policy discussions regarding standards, training, and licensure for MIs are crucial.
    • Enhancing the role of MIs can improve healthcare access and quality for LEP patients in occupational health settings.
