ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the impact of language concordance with the impact of language discordance on the patient experience and trust in their provider.MethodsThis cross-sectional cohort study enrolled English-and Spanish-speaking patients during initial evaluation in a urogynecology clinic. English-and Spanish-speaking patients seen by native English-or Spanish-speaking providers were recruited to the language-concordant group. The language-discordant group included Spanish-speaking patients seen with a translator or by nonnative Spanish-speaking providers. Patients completed the Trust in Physician Scale and the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Clinician and Group Survey (CG-CAHPS). Patients and providers rated the provider's Spanish proficiency on a 10-point scale from 0 (low) to 10 (high). Symptom bother questionnaires were completed 4–6 months after enrollment.ResultsEighty women were recruited, with 40 in each group. Mean age was 55.4±12.9 years. The majority identified as White (75%) and Hispanic (77.5%). Trust in Physician Scale scores were similar between groups (46.2±8.5 vs 44.4±7.5, P> 0.05). The provider communication, provider rating, and recommendation domains of the CG-CAHPS did not differ between groups (all P> 0.05). Provider self-rating of Spanish proficiency was lower than patient ratings (7.5±1.8 vs 9.8±0.5, P< 0.001). There was no difference between groups in symptom bother at 4–6 months (all P> 0.05).ConclusionsPatient-provider language discordance does not affect patient trust in the provider or perception of the encounter as measured by the Trust in Physician Scale and CG-CAHPS questionnaires.
