Bilingual instruction for the education of Mexican American children, particularly instruction in Spanish, is a problem in many parts of the country. Instructional materials developed specifically for the Spanish speaking child are not always available and a literal translation of English language materials into Spanish may be inadequate and/or inaccurate. Programs designed for the Spanish speaker and taught by a certified teacher who is bilingual are preferable. When this is not immediately possible, temporary solutions or arrangements can be implemented within schools and/or preschool centers in order to build upon the child's native language and cultural background.

Centered Care

Interpersonal trust between patient and nurse is important in patient-centered care. Trust development may be more difficult if the patient and nurse do not speak the same language. In this grounded theory study, Spanish-speaking Mexican American adults ( n = 20) hospitalized on a medical-surgical or obstetric unit in the Midwestern United States were interviewed. Through data analysis, a model of how trust develops between nurse and patient revealed eight categories and the core category Caring for Me Well Even When Not Understanding Me. The beginning phase had four categories: Asking for Help, Bothering, Communicating, and Understanding. The middle phase had two categories: Platicando (chatting) and Being Available. The end point category was Having Trust, and outcomes were Feeling Comfortable and Feeling Supported. The language barrier was a hindrance to trust development but the nurse’s way of being (personality) was more important. Therefore, the patient did develop trust with nurses who did not speak Spanish.

Care System

In the health-care system in the Russian Federation, the units providing medical care in outpatient and inpatient conditions employ more than 55,000 individuals of dental doctors of various specialties, dental doctors and dental hygienists every year from 2014 to 2018. The availability of dentistry by doctors tends to decline from 4.20 (2014) to 3.75 (2018). By 2018, 99.45% of dentistry doctors and 99.3% of dental doctors have a specialist certificate and accreditation certificate. 38.16% of dentistry doctors and 54.88% of dental doctors confirmed their qualification category. In dynamics there is a tendency to decrease the passing of certification for obtaining qualification category by these specialists. These facts show a decrease in the availability and quality of dental care, as it is ensured by the availability of the necessary number of health workers and their level of qualification.
