Intégrer un interprète dans les consultations de médecine familiale : une analyse de discours assistée par ordinateur

Abstract

We set up a research to explore representations of working with interpreters among family physicians in Quebec City. Focus-groups (FGs) with third year medical students (6, N= 22), residents (4, N= 29) and senior physicians (5, N= 47) were conducted. We made three video vignettes of interpreted medical consultations. Each FG was presented two of them which were separately discussed. Results show that vignettes and status did elicit different discourses. Students seem more preoccupied with the physician-patient relationship whereas seniors discuss more about information. Residents’ discourse point to identity formation issues. Results are discussed in light of Habermas’ communication theory.
