| 【 要旨 】 | 医療ソーシャルワーカー(MSW)は，今日の状況変化のもとでより専門的な役割が求められている．その理由は，透析患者の数が増えているだけではなく，患者や家族の状況がより複雑化していることであり，このような患者のニーズに応えるためには医療スタッフ間の連携の必要性が強まっているからである． MSWの仕事は社会福祉を基盤にしている．MSWが透析施設で一人前の専門家として認められるためには，患者や家族との相互理解，医療スタッフや他機関の関連職種との連携が必要である．同時に，MSWは日常業務のなかでの経験を体系化し，新しい社会資源情報やケースワーク手法を獲得するため，絶えざる自己研鑽が必要である． |

| [ Summary ] | Medical social workers (MSW) are increasingly required to fulfill more specialized rolls when carrying out their jobs, in the changing conditions of today. Because dialysis patients are not only increasing in terms of numbers but also because the conditions of patients have become more complicated, including relationships with families, and medical staff members' cooperation, it has become more of a necessity to respond to these patients' special needs. The jobs of MSW are based on concepts of social welfare disciplines. Owing to improvements in their abilities and their acceptance as full-fledged specialists, MSW in dialysis facilities are seen as necessary in creating mutual understanding between patients, their families, and also cooperation with other medical staff members. At the same time, a continuing devotion to education is very important for MSW, in order to formulate procedures for the daily work and to obtain new information about social resources, and casework methods. |
