“…Language is, for instance, important in doctor-patient consultations and HIV and AIDS counselling as well as in the distribution of material that gives information about HIV and AIDS prevention and management (see Eggly 2002;O'Brien and Shea 2011;Oostendorp 2012;Paternotte et al 2015;Saal 2011;Sahe and Fernandez 2007;Towle 2006;West 1984). In communication encounters around HIV and AIDS, the doctor, caregivers or counsellors often do not share a first language or culture with their patients (Anthonissen and Meyer 2008). Again, language has strong influence on attitudes towards HIV and AIDS and people affected by the condition (Moqasa and Salawu 2013).…”

“…In the African context, the relationship between language and HIV and AIDS has attracted the attention of many researchers (see e.g. Oostendorp 2012; Anthonissen and Meyer 2008;Oluwabamide and Jegede 2008;Moto 2004;Horne 2004;Reddy 2004;Ogechi 2005;Kolawole 2006;Nwanwene 2008;Udoakah and Iwokwagh 2008;Komolafe 2010). The studies by Anthonissen and Meyer (2008), Komolafe (2010), Oluwabamide and Jegede (2008), and Oostendorp (2012) emphasise the role of indigenous languages in preventing HIV and AIDS.…”

Kolawole (2006), for instance, argues that the failure to successfully make information on the transmission, treatment and prevention of HIV or AIDS available to the people of Nigeria in spite of the vigorous campaigns by the government, international donors and NGOs is traceable to the choice of medium (English) being used given that the literacy rate in English is still low in the country (about 61% based on UNESCO Institute for Statistics).…”

Although the level of awareness of HIV has significantly improved over the past decade following the coordinated activities of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), Nigeria still remains one of the most burdened countries in the world with about 3 million people living with HIV. Increasing enlightenment campaigns on HIV and AIDS have not been able to achieve remarkable behaviour change as a result of the non-use of appropriate nomenclatures. Given the low literacy rate of Nigerians in English (about 61% based on UNESCO Institute for Statistics), communication strategies can only be effective when indigenous Nigerian languages have standardised and appropriate nomenclatures for HIV and AIDS. This study argues that the use of appropriate terms in the local languages in referring to HIV and AIDS is capable of reducing the stigmatisation and discrimination of people living with HIV and AIDS, and consequently reduce the spread of HIV through behaviour change. Accordingly, the study embarks on the lexical modernisation of HIV and AIDS nomenclatures in Nigeria’s three major languages (i.e. Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba) in line with current developments around the world in the management of the two health conditions.

“…As will be indicated below, such difficulties include misunderstanding regarding reported symptoms or prescribed medication. Language discordance then may inhibit successful communication in healthcare, particularly between physicians and patients in HIV/AIDS care where much of the quality of care is dependent on participants understanding one another 3 (Lukoschek et al 2003;Anthonissen and Meyer 2008;Shaw et al 2009;Bharath-Kumar et al 2009). …”

This paper gives a description of multilingual practices in two HIV-care centres in Lesotho on the basis of interviews with both health care providers and some patients who make use of the services of these centres. It considers the importance of effective linguistic communication in HIV-care and the hazards posed to such communication when physicians do not share the first language of the patients and of others working in these health care facilities. It gives the insights gained in a recent study on the kinds of interventions developed to facilitate communication in such multilingual institutional settings. In one of the centres informal interpreters are appointed to assist in transfer of information during consultations; in the second centre interpreting is only casually available from bilingual staff members. Besides interpreting, participants reported engaging in a number of other mediating practices. Evidence gained from informal interpreting studies elsewhere suggests that more than literal translation is required to achieve the kind of communicative success that will ensure quality in the health care provided to a vulnerable community. This study agrees with such findings and has generated a number of suggestions for improving the management of the linguistic diversity in communication within such clinics. The paper focuses on the specific resources provided in the healthcare centres and on the strategies participants use to enhance medical communication.

ZusammenfassungPatientenzentrierte Kommunikation und selbstbestimmte Entscheidungen gelten heutzutage als wichtige Aspekte der Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung. Im klinischen Alltag ist die Umsetzung dieser Konzepte jedoch immer wieder erschwert. In diesem Beitrag wird anhand eines Fallbeispiels diskutiert, worin die Grenzen der partizipativen Entscheidungsfindung bestehen und wieso das Vertrauen in die Handlungslogik der Institution insbesondere dann relevant wird, wenn es nur geringe Spielräume für eigene Entscheidungen gibt.
