Using linguistic analysis to study real-time doctor-patient interactions, Maga a probes the role of interpersonal language and transcultural competency in improving patient-centered health care with Spanish-speaking Latino\/as, highlighting successful examples of how Latino\/a cultural constructs of \u003ci\u003econfianza\u003c\/i\u003e (trust), \u003ci\u003efamilismo\u003c\/i\u003e (family-orientation), \u003ci\u003epersonalismo\u003c\/i\u003e (friendliness), \u003ci\u003erespeto\u003c\/i\u003e (respect), and \u003ci\u003esimpat a\u003c\/i\u003e (kindness) can be deployed in medical interactions. She proposes that transcultural interactions entail knowing patients' cultural values and being mindful about creating an interpersonal connection with patients through small talk, humor, self-disclosure, politeness, and informal language, including language switching and culturally appropriate use of colloquialisms. By explicitly articulating discourse strategies doctors can use in communicating with Spanish-speaking patients, \u003ci\u003eBuilding\u003c\/i\u003e Confianza will aid both students and providers in connecting to communities of Spanish speakers in health care contexts and advancing transcultural competence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDalia Maga?a is Associate Professor of Spanish linguistics at the University of California, Merced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47540433944797,"sku":"9780814258095","price":55.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/VxoT6M_QxI9780814258095.webp?v=1772583390","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/building-confianza-empowering-latinos-as-through-transcultural-health-care-communication-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
