Abstract
Review question/objective: The overall objective is to identify, critically appraise and synthesize evidence on the impact of professional interpreters on outcomes for hospitalized children (aged 0–18 years) from migrant and refugee families with low English proficiency. More specifically, does the intervention of the use of a professional interpreter for migrant and refugee families with low English proficiency impact on: Children’s hospital length of stay, unplanned readmission rates and non-attendance rates at clinic appointments? Child and/or parent satisfaction with care in hospital? Adherence to treatment, medication errors and adverse events relating to the child in hospital?. © 2017 THE JOANNA BRIGGS INSTITUTE.
