The Social Worker as Member of the Health Team

Aside from helping avail of financial assistance, the Social Worker helps the patient and his family understand his heart ailment, determines the feeling and attitudes towards his illness and its treatment and explains hospital rules, policies and procedures. The Social Worker interprets all these matters to them so that the family can give him all the material and emotional support.

As PHC has limited resources for all the service patients' medical needs, it is the social worker's role to mobilize outside resources. The PHC-SSD maintains a partnership with Philippine Rotary Pacemaker and Heart Valve Bank, PCSO, and other government and non-government organizations for assistance for pacemaker units, valves, stents and other hospitalization expenses.

The social worker also helps make the patient's stay in the hospital more bearable and meaningful thru ward visits, play theraphy for children, group work for adults, skills and livelihhood activities for both patients and watchers, and gift giving during Christmas seasons. Her area of concern is the enhancement of the patient's social functioning.

As part of the health team, the social worker is also in constant coordination with the medical, nursing and other hospital staff. She interprets the psychosocial factors related to illness, medical care and health, as well as the patient's social environment from which he comes from and to which he eventually returns because the facts about life, community relationships, his hopes, fears, anxieties and attitudes affect bodily illness. She also participates in the development and improvement of health care and welfare programs by her active participation in the CCREP TEAM and NEURO TEAM.
