Winner of the NCA Health Communication 2021 Distinguished Book
Award. This book examines interpreter-mediated medical encounters
and focuses primarily on the phenomenon of bilingual health care.
It highlights the interactive and coordinated nature of
interpreter-mediated interactions. Elaine Hsieh has put together
over 15 hours of interpreter-mediated medical encounters, interview
data with 26 interpreters from 17 different cultures/languages, 39
health care providers from 5 clinical specialties, and surveys of
293 providers from 5 clinical specialties. The depth and richness
of the data allows for the presentation of a theoretical framework
that is not restricted by language combination or clinical
contexts. This will be the first book of its kind that includes not
only interpreters' perspectives but also the needs and perspectives
of providers from various clinical specialties. Bilingual Health
Communication presents an opportunity to lay out a new theoretical
framework related to bilingual health care and connects the latest
findings from multiple disciplines. This volume presents future
research directions that promise development for both theory and
practice in the field.
