Research Participants Wanted For a Study:

For a study examining interpreter-mediated healthcare relationships in BC

Are you Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or DeafBlind and: 

  • Have used a medical interpreter in BC for more than two years?
  • Are over the age of 18?
  • Use ASL?

If so, we would like to learn about your experiences! 

Participation information: 

  • Participants will be asked to engage in a drawing activity on their own a recorded online interview of up to one hour with Bryan Hemingway
  • The drawing and interview will focus on your experience of relationships with your healthcare practitioners (doctors, nurses, etc.) while using medical interpreters in non-emergency appointments
  • Participants can choose to receive a copy of research results and/or meet with Bryan Hemingway who will provide a summary of the study in ASL
  • No payment is available for your participation

Study Information

This research is being conducted by Bryan Hemingway, as a part of their Masters of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program.

This research is being supervised by Dr. Laura Nimmon (Principal Investigator) (laura.nimmon@ubc.ca) and Dr. Debra Russell (drussell@ualberta.ca).

Summary

A high-quality patient-practitioner relationship is supportive of a wide range of important health outcomes. Yet, at present, little is known how the introduction of an interpreter influences the development and experience of patient-practitioner rapport. As a result, healthcare practitioners and healthcare interpreters are often left to guess at best practice for promoting high-quality relationships with patients who use minority languages.

It is hoped that through this study we can better understand the experience of engaging in relational work while using an interpreter. In turn, we hope through this study we can provide additional guidance for promoting high-quality relationships in interpreter-mediated healthcare interactions. 

This research is guided by the question: How are patient-practitioner relationships experienced in interpreter-mediated non-emergency healthcare appointments?

A theatre production by Zee Zee Theatre

A comedy about hockey, culture, relationships and sex. Two teenage hockey players and their dads are told both boys will be kicked off the team unless they have a “feelings circle” in the  hockey dressing room. Why? Because one dad punched the other in the face.  In 90 hilarious minutes, these guys get to know each other and themselves a whole lot better. Maybe they discover there is more than one way to “win”?
