Impact of Interpreter Service Intervention and Spanish-speaking Attending Physician on Satisfaction Among Spanish-speaking Patients

  Intervention* Spanish-speaking attending
Satisfaction with nursing −0.41 (−0.97, 0.15) 0.12 (−0.23, 0.48)
Satisfaction with physicians −0.31 (−0.90, 0.29) 0.42 (0.03, 0.81)
Satisfaction with hospital stay −0.48 (−1.1, 0.13) 0.55 (0.12, 0.99)

Three separate regression models, each including controls for gender, age, racial/ethnic identification, education, marital status, number of times seen by a physician in the past year, number of hospitalizations in the last year, self-rated health, and CCI score.

Figures are probit regression coefficients (95%CIs), which are equivalent to effect sizes for:

*The difference between SS-I and SS-U groups attributable to interpreter services intervention, in units of within-group standard deviation, controlling for Spanish-speaking attending.

The difference between Spanish-speaking patients with and without a Spanish-speaking attending, controlling for physician team and interpreter services intervention.
