SWK 522 - Social Work and Health 3 hours
Methods of social work practice in health care are studied within the bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework. Assessing clients and client systems and interventions are expanded on to include medical treatment, physical functioning and socio-cultural meaning assigned to illness. Focus will be on strategies for coping with illness, identity formation and the impact of illness on family relationships. Intervention strategies will be geared towards prevention, palliation and rehabilitation of illness in a variety of health care settings. The roles and competencies that social workers develop in these settings will be emphasized.
