Mayo Clinic is seeking Spanish speaking adult volunteers who have experienced a hospital stay of 2 weeks or more within the last 2 years and used an interpreter while in the hospital, to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to understand the challenges faced by Spanish speaking patients who are hospitalized for a long time and who have complex illnesses as well as the use of interpreters during these hospital stays.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
• Are Spanish speaking
• Are over 18 years of age
• Were hospitalized in the last 2 years
• Were in the hospital for 2 weeks or more
• Suffered from a complex or critical illness while in the hospital

• Used an interpreter during your hospital stay
• Have Spanish speaking loved ones or family members who fit the above criteria
Participation will last for 1 hour and includes an online focus group meeting (using a program like Zoom) with 5-10 other people who are either patients or who have family members who are patients. We will ask you to discuss your experiences and thoughts about being in the hospital for a long stay with a complex medical condition, your thoughts about using
an interpreter, as well as how you think hospitals care for patients with language barriers and complex conditions. You will be compensated for your time spent in this study.
