Abstract
This presentation will discuss the implementation of a valid and reliable instrument (IPRI, Angelelli 2004) to measure interpreter's behaviors and beliefs and correlate results with those of a focus group study (Angelelli 2007) on the reactions of health-care interpreters to their code of ethics. Health-care interpreters' voices related to ethical principles of objectivity, faithfulness and
transparency will be reviewed and analyzed. The presentation will start with a brief critical analysis of ethical principles. Subsequently it will highlight the challenges interpreters face when trying to balance their professional mandate with the reality of their working environment. In particular, it will show the difficulties of defining the interpreter’s role within an organization. The final part of the presentation will discuss the importance of empirical research as well as the tension that exists between professional ideologies and data-driven studies.
