Q

-More visits and longer stays at hospitals
-Poorer management of acute and chronic conditions (lack of access)
-Reduced mental health and counselling

Q

Impact of Language Barriers: Patient and Staff Experience

A

Patients
Lower healthcare satisfaction, lower compliance/adherence, problems with access and coordination of care an follow ups
Staff
Frequent difficulties communicating, relying more on ad hoc interpreters, increased chance of confidentiality breaches, increased risk of invalid consent
Indirect
Minorities underrepresented in clinical research, results aren’t generalizable, know less about risk factors, prevalence, and treatment

Q

Approaches to improving access of healthcare through language

A

Increase the number of same language encounters
-Increase number of bilinguals or multilingual health care professionals (instead of i.e. pulling a nurse away to fill in)
-Increase the number of minority language speakers who speak official languages
Provide professional interpretation services
-Enable communication between individuals who do not speak each other’s languages

21
Q

Consecutive interpretation

A

When interpretation occurs after a section of the source language is produced, during a pause

22
Q

Limited English Proficiency (LEP)

A

Legal concept referring to an insufficient proficiency in English to ensure equal access to public services without an interpreter

23
Q

Ad Hoc Interpreter

A

Person who is asked to interpret but does not have professional interpretation training

24
Q

Cultural Broker

A

Person knowledgeable about the culture and/or speech-language community and passes that information between client and clinician in addition to language interpretation

25
Q

When to use an Interpreter

A

-If the health care provider and patient don’t speak the same language or the patient has a limited english proficiency
-A good measure is if the patient is only answering with yes and no

25
Q

Linguistic Broker

A

Person knowledgeable about speech community/communication environment and can provide information about language and sociolinguistic norms (i.e. pragmatics, patters, etc.)

26
Q

Modalities of Interpretation

A

Telephone, Video Call, In-Person

27
Q

Issues with Family and Ad Hoc Interpreters

A

Family
-Cannot remain unbiased, uncomfortable, hard conversations (especially with providing diagnosis)
-Very dangerous when involving minors
Ad Hoc Interpreters
-Often bilingual staff, might know the patient, lack of context or insufficient vocab, pulling staff away from their job, high error

28
Q

Aphasia

A

-Acquired communication disorder caused by brain damage
-Characterized by an impairment of language modalities

29
Q

Causes of Aphasia

A

-Stroke (most common, about ~30% of stroke survivors experience aphasia)
-Neurodegeneration
-Head Trauma
-Tumour
-Infection

30
Q

Types of Aphasia

A

Broca’s Aphasia (Most Common)
Nonfluent, impairment of expressive ability and repetition but comprehension stays relatively intact
Wernicke’s Aphasia
Impaired repetition, auditory and reading comprehension
Neurodegenerative language disorders
Deterioration of speech and language, associated with Alzheimer’s

31
Q

Phonological Component Analysis

A

-Targeting verbal expressions and naming
-Prompts person to analyze sound components of a target word to facilitate verbal expression

32
Q

Better Conversations with Aphasia

A

(AKA Conversation Therapy)
Weekly communication training program for people with aphasia, uses video recorded conversations

33
Q

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

A

Refers to any techniques or tools used to compensate for and/or supplement spoken communication

34
Q

Listener Bias

A

Studies show that perceived intelligibility of a speaker drops when seeing a minority in comparison to a white person

35
Q

Motor Speech Neuroanatomy

A

Speech disorders that come from neurologic impairments

36
Q

Motor Speech Neuroanatomy: Etiologies

A

Cerebral vascular accidents, tumours, traumatic brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory, toxic-metabolic

37
Q

Apraxia of Speech

A

-Motor planning/programming issue
-Can co-occur with aphasia and/or dysarthria
-The localization is controversial (has been associated with Broca’s area but a range of other places have been proposed)

38
Q

Dysarthria

A

Motor control and/or execution issue

motor control
-Ataxia: Poor coordination/timing
-Hypokinesia: Too little movement
Hyperkinesia: Too much movement

Execution
-Spasicity: Problems with discrete, voluntary movement and supporting movements
-Flaccidity: Problems with stimulating muscle contraction

39
Q

Assessing Motor Speech Disorders

A

Chart review, case history and collateral, oral mechanism exam, speech tasks, patient perspective, compare to baseline, intelligibility

40
Q

What can’t be measured using a standardized test

A

-Limited for testing languages other than English
-Reliance on informal tools
-consider the patient/client/resident/family values and goals
-Consider dialectal differences

41
Q

Fluency

A

-Refers to the continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production
-Also about the temporal sequencing

42
Q

Fluency Disorder

A

Interruption to the typical flow of speech (i.e. atypical rate or rhythm, or disfluencies accompanied by secondary behaviours)

43
Q

Disfluencies

A

-Fillers (i.e. um, uh)
-Repetition of sounds or syllables (like stuttering)
-Prolongations (i.e. eat the sssssandwich)
-Blocks (The inability to initiate a sound)

*All speakers/signers are disfluent sometimes

44
Q

Stuttering and Statistics

A

-The most common fluency disorder
-Incidence: about 5-8% of the population is diagnosed every year
-Prevalence: 1% or less of the total population stutter at a particular point in time

Note: Prevalence is lower than incidence because 80% of children diagnosed as toddlers recover without therapy

45
Q

Stages of Stuttering

A

(AKA “Natural History”)
-Stage 1: Typical Disfluencies
-Stage 2: Borderline Stuttering
-Stage 3: Beginning Stuttering
-Stage 4: Intermediate Stuttering
-Stage 5: Advanced Stuttering

46
Q

Causes of Stuttering: Biological

A

-Genetic evidence: does not guarantee stuttering but people who stutter are likely to have a first degree relative who also stutters
-if an identical twin stutters the other is 70% likely to as well, where 25% if not identical twin

47
Q

Causes of Stuttering: Speech Motor Control

A

-Hypothesized that stuttering may be a failure to form stable underlying motor programs for speech
-Would explain differences in articulatory movement
-Quality of any motor control task suffers in the face of stress and anxiety

48
Q

Neurogenic Stuttering

A

Can be the result of neurological damage after a brain injury or stroke

49
Q

Treatment: Stuttering

A

Behaviour treatment is generally considered effective at reducing stuttering
