The delivery of healthcare services in a language-concordant environment has been shown to mitigate the risk of poor health outcomes related to chronic disease management in primary care. However, data assessing the impact of language-concordance on the risk of in-hospital harm are lacking. We conducted a population-based study to determine...

Background Hospitalizations carry considerable risks for frail, elderly patients; this is especially true for patients with dementia, who are more likely to experience delirium, falls, functional decline, iatrogenic complications, and infections when compared to their peers without dementia. Since up to two thirds of patients in long-term care (LTC) facilities have dementia, there is interest in identifying factors associated with transitions from LTC facilities to hospitals. The purpose of...

Language is an important determinant of health, and lack of access to quality, linguistically adapted healthcare and social services negatively impacts users. Besides the lack of bilingual resources, our previous research on Francophone minority community seniors’ trajectories through these services shed light on important and nonobvious challenges currently faced by organizations offering healthcare and social services to this population. Current service provision appeared limited due to...

Les auteurs se demandent si l’utilisation de marqueurs discursifs change, dans les interactions des infirmières avec les patients, en fonction de l’usage qu’elles font de leur langue maternelle (L1) ou de leur langue seconde (L2). Les marqueurs sont analysés à titre de marqueurs de maintien du tour de parole, indiquant la « prise en compte » et de marqueurs de transition dans le discours, indiquant un changement de sujet ou de locuteur dans la conversation. Ces deux catégories de marqueurs...
