Implementing advance care planning with people from ethnic minority backgrounds with cancer: a qualitative study of factors affecting practice in Australia
Shared understanding between interpreters and cancer clinicians about their communication approach and terminologies to use when no direct translation is available may contribute towards increased uptake of ACP. Identification and necessary adaptations of mechanisms that foster interprofessional collaboration in cancer care between clinicians and interpreters in ACP communication with ethnic minority communities will enhance ACP uptake and person-centred care.
