A língua estrangeira como barreira para o cuidado em saúde

Abstract

Com a migração global profissionais da área de saúde passaram a conviver com pacientes que falam línguas diferentes da língua do país em que vivem. As barreiras linguísticas tem grande impacto na qualidade e custos dos cuidados de saúde. O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar revisão da literatura sobre a dificuldade de comunicação entre profissionais da saúde e pacientes que falam línguas diferentes. A maior parte dos estudos avaliados demonstrou que o idioma atua como barreira de comunicação e que esta traz prejuízo ao sistema de saúde, profissionais, pacientes e familiares. A privação da comunicação entre pacientes e profissionais traz consequências para todos os envolvidos nos cuidados ao paciente. Não foi encontrado nenhum trabalho que avaliasse as barreiras de comunicação, relacionadas ao idioma, em língua portuguesa, o que nos leva à indagação se nós temos ignorado o problema ou se ele é inexistente em nosso país.Descritores: Comunicação, Atenção à Saúde, Idioma. The foreign language as barriers for the health careAbstract: With the global migration of health professionals have come to live with patients who speak different languages of the language in which they live. Language barriers have a major impact on quality and costs of health care. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the difficulty of communication between health professionals and patients who speak different languages. Most of the studies reviewed showed that the language serves as a communication barrier and that brings harm to health care professionals, patients and families. Deprivation of communication between patients and health professionals has consequences for everyone involved in patient care. We found no study that assessed the communication barriers related to language, in portuguese language, which leads us to question whether we have ignored the problem or if it is lacking in our country.Descriptors: Communication, Health Care, Language.

Population confidence in federal entities’ governance to face the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and its associated factors: Evidence from the Social Thermometer Project – COVID-19

“…The level of education and the situation of social vulnerability were associated, this relationship converged so that there was misinformation of the populations living in the most disadvantaged social fabrics, because in these territories there was a lack of resources to resort to sources of information from international institutions, in addition to an intrinsic difficulty regarding internet access and, sometimes, inaccessibility of this connection and communication in another language. This fact was also observed as a harmful barrier in the provision of health services [35].…”

“…Governments. In Brazil, a secular state, religious orders have interfered in political and ethical projects thought for inclusion and equity [39], especially in issues relevant to society such as abortion, sex education in schools, homo-affective marriage, among others that have a strong relationship with the increase or decrease in the level of trust in governance by the spheres of government [35,41].
