Author(s): Amita Tuteja*, Elisha Riggs, Lena Sanci, Lester Mascarenhas, Anna Power, Di VanVliet, Katrina Sangster, Kim McGuiness and Meredith Temple-Smith
Context: Debriefing is an essential part of all interpreter mediated appointments but is critical in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) consultations. It allows both interpreters and health care providers (HCPs) to clarify specific issues, for instance, appropriateness of specifi c reproductive health terminology. However, the interpreters’ code of ethics specifies that interpreters keep all participants informed of any side comments made by any party. Thus, interpreters who may be keen to discuss what they could not say during the consultation, may hesitate to do so, even if a debrief is offered by the HCPs
Objective: To explore the perspectives of HCPs, interpreters, and community members regarding uptake, organization, and utility of debriefing in primary care consultations in context of refugees from Burma.
