moreThe field of sign language interpreting demands cognitive and physical functions to render an interpretation. The use of facial and musculoskeletal movements makes a vital component. Sign language interpreters are affected by the demands through hours of repetitive movements. This literature review elaborates findings, suggestions, and possible approaches through evidence-based practices.
Findings through the topic of Self-Care provide workload management and awareness to interpreters across the globe. Sign language interpreters may benefit as members of the fitness industry to alleviate stress, improve brain function, and add pleasure to daily life. This lessens occupational stress by incorporating activities that are safe and effective. While many interpreters define self-care as relative to their life and environment, employing supplementary approaches that are evidence-based increases education within the subject of self-care. The topic of Self-Care provides education about brain cognition to students and sign language interpreters around the world.
