Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Interprofessional Learning
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Language barriers (LB) in patient care compromise quality and increase costs.
  • Effective collaboration with interpreters is a crucial, learnable skill for healthcare professionals.
  • The Interpret2Improve intervention addresses the need for training in managing LB.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the interprofessional Interpret2Improve educational intervention.
  • To assess medical and nursing students' self-perceived improvement in addressing LB and working with interpreters.

Main Methods:

  • A three-hour interprofessional training course involving simulated patient interactions with professional interpreters.
  • Pre- and post-course evaluation using the validated Freiburg Questionnaire for Interprofessional Learning Evaluation.
  • Analysis of self-assessed interprofessional knowledge and skills among participating students.

Main Results:

  • Fifty-one students (30 medical, 21 nursing) participated in the study.
  • The course received a positive overall reception (mean 1.73/5).
  • Significant differences in evaluation between medical and nursing students were observed, with 14/21 items showing self-assessed gains in interprofessional skills.

Conclusions:

  • Students reported increased confidence and skills in managing language barriers through interpreter collaboration.
  • The interprofessional format was perceived as beneficial for enhancing these skills.
  • Further research is recommended to validate long-term outcomes and objective measures of effectiveness.
