“…A qualitative study on the involvement of HCPs with ethnic minority backgrounds in consultation with migrant patients showed that use of bilingual HCPs has the potential to improve quality of health for migrant patients but also has downsides to take into consideration. 38 Another way to address cultural gaps between HCPs and patients is through education in cultural competences 39 and raising cultural awareness among HCPs. 36 This can enable HCPs to address and handle problems related to cultural differences 40 instead of pushing a problem forward to the next HCP who meets the patient, thus creating a snowball effect.…”

“…[55]. A Danish study highlighted that involving pharmacists with ethnic minority backgrounds in encounters with ethnic minorities improves access and quality of care [56]. Alternatively, implementing online translation tools, e.g., Google Translate and MediBabble may also enhance the quality of care and satisfaction among patients as well as among healthcare providers [52].…”

The unique professional competence of pharmacists can support the safe and effective use of medicines by patients. Additionally, it is important to acknowledge and incorporate the needs of patients with various cultural and social backgrounds. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the experiences and expectations of Russian- and Estonian-speaking pharmacy customers about medicines-related services in Estonian community pharmacies. Cross-sectional study among pharmacy customers was conducted in Estonia 2018–2020. For data analysis, an Independent t-Test was used to compare experiences and expectations of respondents towards medicines-related services. The study involved 552 pharmacy customers: 58.5% (n = 323) Estonians and 41.5% (n = 229) Russians. The majority of the total sample (78.3%) considered the pharmacist competent to help. Medicines-related concerns were more common among Russians (p = 0.037), however, they sought less contact to consult a pharmacist than Estonians (p < 0.001). Furthermore, expectations about different medicines-related services in the future were higher among Estonians than among Russians (p < 0.001). Community pharmacists in Estonia should focus more on person-centered care to better meet the expectations and needs of different ethnic groups about medicines-related services. It is also important to reduce the language barrier and to increase the recognition of cultural traditions by health professionals.

“…Thus, the examined studies were collected in a manner analogous to purposeful sampling. 46 The inclusion criteria resulted in a sample of 40 studies to analyze for this project: two in dentistry/dental hygiene, 47,48 10 in medicine, [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] 10 in nursing, [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68] four in occupational therapy, [69][70][71][72] eight in pharmacy, [73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80] two in physical therapy, 81,82 and four in social work. [83][84][85][86] The authors were typically a mix of clinicians (eg, MD), clinician-scientists (eg, RN-PhD), and/or social scientists (eg, PhD in education).…”

Objective. To characterize elements of the results section of qualitative research reports that make findings more accessible to readers. Methods. Two analytical methods were used for this review. First, published reviews and textbooks written by experts outlining how to evaluate qualitative research were retrieved and reviewed to identify common elements that enhance clarity of the results section. In the second analysis, the authors analyzed the results sections of a subset of qualitative studies to identify, from a reader's point of view, aspects that enhanced and detracted from communication of the results. Findings. Four elements improve accessibility of the results section for readers of qualitative research reports. Content, the first element, describes what information the reader should look for in the results section. Style of results, the second element, identifies wording choices that improve reader accessibility and understanding. Narrative flow, the third element, describes a results section that flows smoothly and logically. Structural cohesiveness, the final element, outlines effective organization of the results section. Results. While authors take several approaches to the presentation of results in qualitative research reports, some strategies appear to be more common and effective than others. The efficient presentation of results can impact a reader's assessment of the quality and credibility of a study. Identified content and stylistic elements should be considered by authors hoping to make the results of their qualitative research more accessible and comprehensible to readers.
