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).

Background: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely hit Canadian nursing facilities (81% of deaths).

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...
