Several factors can contribute to interpreter bias:
Personal Beliefs: An interpreter's own values and beliefs can inadvertently influence how they translate information. Cultural Differences: Misunderstandings can arise from cultural nuances that are not easily conveyed across languages. Lack of Training: Interpreters who are not professionally trained may lack the skills necessary to remain neutral and accurate. Over-Familiarity: Interpreters who develop a rapport with patients may unconsciously alter information to protect or benefit the patient.
