Nhận thức của người dân về tổ công tác xã hội trong bệnh viện (Trường hợp nghiên cứu ở Bệnh viện Đa khoa tỉnh Vĩnh Long và tỉnh Đồng Tháp)

Abstract

The survey was conducted in March 2018 and the quantitative data were collected from a questionnaire and in-depth interview with some typical participants. The results showed that although the social work team was established in 2014 in Dong Thap General Hospital and 2016 in Vinh Long General Hospital, the majority of patients and their family members visiting the hospital knew nothing or little about it; most respondents did not understand well about its working in the hospital; people's awareness of social workers’ functions and duties in hospitals was very limited; its services were mostly charitable; etc. Accordingly, for improvement it is necessary to transform or renew its working methods.
