Abstract
Healthcare professionals face significant challenges when caring for patients with whom they do not share the same language. Using professional healthcare interpreters can reduce the challenges associated with language barriers and improve patient outcomes however, some nurses report using interpreters to be complex and time consuming, increasing workloads and making relationships between the patient and nurse more complicated. In some cases, this may lead to nurses choosing to utilise family members over health care interpreters.
