Culture Humility: Supporting Families With Limited English Proficiency in Pediatric Palliative Care
Azambuja D, Grekov K, Xenakis L, Ullrich C · Journal of pain and symptom management · 2025
Describe the impact of integrating in-person medical interpreters within the interdisciplinary framework of palliative care to support the development of a personalized care plan for non-English speaking families with complex goals of care. For non-English speaking families, the physical presence of a medical interpreter fosters trusting relationships, allowing families to express their emotional concerns, cultural values, and spiritual beliefs—crucial information for a pediatric palliative care (PPC) team. Through their deep understanding of language and culture, medical interpreters also broker an empathic connection in difficult conversations between medical teams and families.
