Thesis (M.A.)--University of Cincinnati, 2007.

U.S. populations are diversifying. Although immersed in an English-speaking population, immigrants are retaining their cultural identities. This understanding prompted a federal mandate for the services of bilingual interpreters to mediate healthcare delivery to non-English speaking clients. Although, the interpreter's role has been defined, the specific impact of bilingual interpreters on healthcare outcomes has not been fully demonstrated. The consensus suggests that interpreters improve health care by facilitating communications. However, the fact that bilingual/cultural competency bears directly on client comfort and autonomy has gone unnoticed. Research has produced guidelines suggesting that interpreters act as neutral information conduits, but no research has examined the role that cultures play throughout these multicultural events. This mini-ethnographic study explores how Hispanic cultures 'present themselves' through the medium of interpreting. This study found that institutionalized concepts regarding culture are not ideal. The cultural complexity found within Spanish-speaking populations is beyond most healthcare professionals understand.
