A Two-Front War: Exploring Military Families' Battle with Parental Deployment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify ways parents comfort their children to help them cope and adapt to the stresses of the deployment of a mother or father in military service, as well as the reintegration process of the parent returning home.

Design And Methods: This qualitative study used a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to better understand the lived experiences of these families and strategies used to combat stressors of deployment and post-deployment. Using purposive and snowball sampling for recruitment, participants completed an online anonymous survey that consisted of demographic and open-ended questions.

The work of language interpretation in health care: complex, challenging, exhausting, and often invisible.

The value of qualified language interpretation services for limited-English-proficient patients is gaining increasing recognition by policy makers and researchers in the United States.

The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the work experiences of formal and informal interpreters (n = 27).

To further understand the complex work of interpreting, we conducted in-depth interviews with 27 formal and informal healthcare interpreters. Participants identified the technical conduit role as the professional standard.
