Article Medical Characteristics of Patients in Paramedic Care Who Speak a Foreign Language

Summary/Abstract: Unfamiliar clinical and socio-segment characteristics Language patients in prehospital crisis clinical consideration are compared to non-familiar patients.patients with a language barrier Strategies: We conducted a review graph survey of salvage tasks in four different cities. In 2.2 percent of the 7494 salvage activities covered, patients with limited German capability were served. These patients were, on average, twenty years younger than their German speaking partners. Patients with limited German ability were more likely to have gynaecological and obstetric issues, such as births, as well as mental health issues, such as self-destruction attempts. Ends: Our findings suggest that current preventive programmes for pregnant women and people at risk of self-destruction do not adequately reach patients with limited German ability. Furthermore, both for patients and paramedics, conceiving a child and mental breakdowns are excellent and delicate situations in which the ability to communicate safely appears to be of colossal importance to enable safe treatment.
