Abstract

This example was the discharge support, or social work approach, of a patient with a strong desire for home care, but relies on his wife for all of his daily needs. Through this case study, we can understand the importance of self-determination for the patient and his family to decide what is important, what to choose, and what to give up. In other words, as a specialist of interpersonal help, the medical social worker is asked to provide timely information necessary for a patient and his/her family, respect their choices and decisions, and provide that support. In addition, the medical social worker isn’t necessarily required to proactively provide all societal resources outside the hospital, but instead it’s important for the medical social worker to provide them appropriately according to the situation of the patient and his/her family, and a specialist’s ability and sense are crucial.
