Objectives: In the literature the role of an interpreter in the clinical setting is not yet clearly defined. The aim of the study is to explore, which role the interpreters assign to themselves and which role they actually take in the clinical setting.
Methods: In the quantitative part of the study, the interpreters evaluated their role in the clinical encounter through a questionnaire, whereas in the qualitative part the interpreters' role was assessed by analysing videotapes of the clinical encounters.
