Au Canada, l’enjeu de l’amélioration de l’accès aux services de santé en français, surtout dans les provinces hors Québec, s’inscrit dans des relations complexes entre différents acteurs qui poursuivent des objectifs variés. En 2008, au Nouveau-Brunswick, l’État a remplacé les huit régies régionales existantes par deux nouvelles régies, soit la Régie régionale de la santé A (Réseau de santé Vitalité) et la Régie régionale de la santé B (Réseau de santé Horizon). Plus tard, il a été établi...

Considering that French is the dominant language in Quebec, that relatively few francophone providers of health and social services are able to speak English, and that English-speaking older adults (OAs) have low levels of bilingualism, anglophone OAs are more likely than their francophone peers to face language barriers when accessing health and social services. However, little is known about the strategies English-speaking OAs put into place to overcome the difficulties encountered due to...

Cet article découle d’une étude qui problématise le concept d’effectivité des lois linguistiques. Dans cette étude, nous cherchions à mieux comprendre les dimensions juridiques, sociales, organisationnelles et psychologiques qui peuvent agir sur l’effectivité des lois linguistiques dans le secteur de la santé dans les provinces du Canada qui disposent de telles lois. Sachant que les professionnels de la santé sont en première ligne pour offrir des services en français, nous avons analysé...

La maladie d’Alzheimer est un syndrome neurodégénératif chronique caractérisé par un déclin cognitif et mnésique. Les personnes atteintes par cette maladie développent des affections rattachées à la langue. Il est important de faire passer des tests de dépistage dans la langue maternelle de la personne puisque l’aptitude linguistique décline avec la progression de la maladie. De manière générale, le Mini-mental et le test de l’horloge sont administrés en anglais aux francophones du nord de...

Background: Research considering the impact of language on health care utilization is limited. We conducted a population-based study to: (1) investigate the association between residents’ preferred language and hospital-based health care utilization; and (2) determine whether this association is modified by dementia, a condition which can exacerbate communication barriers. Methods: We used administrative databases to establish a retrospective cohort study of home care recipients...

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected frail individuals, especially those living in long-term care (LTC) homes. This study examined the role of linguistic factors on COVID-19 related outcomes in LTC homes. Methods We performed a population-based, retrospective cohort study of residents living in LTC homes in Ontario, Canada who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021. Resident language, obtained from LTC assessments, was used to...

Introduction As the world’s linguistic diversity continues to increase at an unprecedented rate, a growing proportion of patients will be at risk of experiencing language barriers in primary care settings. We sought to examine whether patient–family physician language concordance in a primary care setting is associated with lower rates of hospital-based healthcare utilisation and mortality. Methods We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of 497 227 home care recipients...

Abstract Objective Providing care in a patient’s preferred language improves health outcomes and patient satisfaction. In Ontario, access to French-speaking physicians (FSPs) is estimated using FSP-to-Francophone population ratios and compared with total physician-to-total population ratios. This approach fails to consider the fact that FSPs also serve non-Francophone patients and that Francophones must compete with the entire population to access FSPs. As a result, this approach...

Francophones are an official language minority in Ontario with limited access to linguistically concordant healthcare services. Although communication is an important skill in the field of pharmacy, little is known about the availability of French-speaking pharmacists. This secondary data analysis of the Ontario College of Pharmacists registry converted weekly hours worked into full-time equivalents (FTEs) and calculated ratios of pharmacist FTEs per 1,000 population. French-speaking...

In this study we examined health communication anxiety (HCA) associated with language-discordant situations – that is, where people have to use their second language (L2) to communicate with health providers who are using their first language (L1). We adapted existing HCA scales in order to (1) assess L2 HCA in such situations separately for physical and mental/emotional health contexts and (2) control for potential confounds, such as HCA not related to L2 use and L2 communication anxiety...
