Interpreters

Discussion While using the MEDLINE database, there were a variety of limitations that were revealed. The keywords used indicated that the results must be based on the use of interpreters within health care. This limitation omits the chance of studies being used that were not based on interpreters, but discussed other aspects of language barriers within healthcare. In addition, since the research was based on the reactions of patients and providers within health care, a limitation that could be…

nurses stations, the use of my accessible real time trusted interpreter (MARTTI) which is a video unit that can access an interpreter, an interpreter who can be available at bedside, and a telephonic interpreting system. A recommendation on how the application of the standard could be enhanced to improve care is to ensure consistent access to interpreters throughout the evening and night shifts. It is difficult to have an interpreter physically present during the night hours. For example,…

Even though I did well in my ASL classes in my high school, and I can see myself as an ASL interpreter. I'm more interested in becoming a veteran assistant. As long as I can remember I loved animals, and always got excited when I saw them. Since I took the ASL classes in high school I still enjoy it, but not as much as I enjoy helping animals. These two careers have both different and similar requirements for me like education, money, personal effects and Social benefits. When it comes to the…

Skinner (Carnegie, 1936. p. 217). Interpreter Peer Assessments Peer assessments Love (1981) gives us four major areas of concern for peer driven assessment; those are; reliability, validity, friendship bias, and user reaction (p. 2). Conclusion Summary While there is no research to show the outcomes of interpreters skill leaves and improvement based off outside positive reinforcement, this paper suggest it is worth looking…

to the new mother and interpreter. I would ask the new mom how she is feeling. I would listen intently as to what the new mom is saying. As mentioned before, this new mom needs an interpreter in order to communicate with me. I would have the interpreter mention to the new mom for her next appointments, she brings the interpreter along or makes arrangements so that the interpreter is there. Communication would be a cultural barrier for this new family so bringing the interpreter along would be…

Currently as an intern interpreter at Fresno State, I have become aware of the benefit of always practicing interpreting in order to thrive in the profession and create great rapport with potential future consumers. Even after my graduation in December 2015, there are multiple exams that I will need to complete in order to become a certified interpreter, such as the following: the National Interpreter Certification Performance Exam, the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment Exam, and…

The study by Jimenez, Moreno, Leng, Buchwald, and Morales, (2012), was to determine whether the interpreter use was associated with quality of acute pain treatment among Latina patients with…

Jean Baptiste church in Warren Rhode Island for an interpreted mass. I wanted to be early so that I could introduce myself to the interpreter and members of the Deaf community prior to mass starting. I was initially nervous by the idea of communicating through sign language because I knew my sign skills were very obviously at a novice level. Although the interpreter and community members easily caught on to me being a beginner they communicated with me, making sure that I understood what they…

language barriers are to have a bilingual interpreter to make the patient feel as comfortable as possible. In a survey catered to Chinese and Vietnamese Americans who know a limited amount of English, many were dissatisfied with the quality of interpreters provided (Ngo-metzger et al., 2003). Some of the questions included were: Was there access to professional, culturally appropriate interpreters? Was there adequate time spent with the interpreter? Was the interpreter gender concordant for…

only jeopardize my future as an ally to the Deaf community, but also as an interpreter and potentially negatively impact other interpreters in the community. I would be breaching AVLIC’s Code of Ethics tenet related to consumers’ confidentiality. Tenet 1.1.1 states that “members will respect the privacy of consumers and hold in confidence all information obtained in the course of professional service.” (“AVLIC,”…
