Language barriers can reduce access to medical and virtual care. Although the topic of healthcare professionals and linguistic minorities has been studied in Canada, it has mainly been done for official languages (i.e., English and French). Non-official languages (NOLs) have not been explored previously in the healthcare system at the pan-Canadian level. The objective of this study is to determine to what extent NOLs spoken by physicians relate to those of Canadian ethnic groups and are an...

Background: Language-concordant health care, or health care in a patient’s language of choice, is an important element of health accessibility that improves patient safety and comfort and facilitates an increased quality of care. However, prior research has found that linguistic minorities often face higher travel burdens to access language-concordant care compared to the general population. Objective: This study intended to assess patient experiences and satisfaction with an online...

Background: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely hit Canadian nursing facilities (81% of deaths). To this toll, public health measures (eg, visitation restriction) have subsequently deepened the social isolation and loneliness of residents in nursing facilities (NFs), especially those in linguistic minority settings: Anglophone institutions in Quebec and Francophone institutions outside Quebec. However, very few COVID-19 initiatives targeting these populations specifically...

Les aînés anglophones du Québec hors Montréal ont un accès variable aux services de santé et services sociaux (SSSS). C’est pourquoi notre recherche explore l’accès aux SSSS pour les aînés anglophones vivant hors Montréal. Spécifiquement, nous décrivons les facteurs (facilitateurs et barrières) influençant l’accès aux SSSS. Ainsi, nous avons conduit une recherche qualitative de type étude de cas unique imbriquée. Nous avons collecté les données à l’aide d’entretiens semi-dirigés...

Les minorités de langue officielle (MLO) du Canada rencontrent des difficultés d’accès aux services sociaux et de santé (SSS). Or, il n’existe aucun portrait exhaustif des services concernés par ces difficultés et des facteurs (facilitateurs et barrières) qui modulent leur accès. Ainsi, le but de cette étude était de décrire l’accessibilité des SSS et d’identifier les facteurs influant sur l’accès aux SSS pour les MLO canadiennes. Une étude de portée dans neuf banques de données combinée à...

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...
