Are audio-recordings the answer? - A pilot study of a communication intervention for non-English speaking cancer patients.

Key points

Developed a communication intervention for non-English speaking migrant cancer patients.

• Consultation audio-recording and study processes were culturally appropriate.
• Audio-recording was perceived to be effective, and replay was higher than previous studies, possibly reflecting a greater need in migrant patients.
• QPL and CIS were often forgotten by participants, suggesting the intervention should be simplified.
• Recruitment data highlighted unique characteristics of different migrant groups. Future studies should be mindful of the differences between language and cultural groups.
