Life oriented perspective: The key components for social work in palliative care

社会工作者将面向生活的观点应用到姑息治疗单位患者和家人的问题解决过程中，从而确立了他们的职业独特性。相反，社会工作者的分配以及社会工作者和护士之间的角色冲突似乎限制了社会工作者向姑息治疗单位的病人和家人提供直接援助的机会。在这种情况下，社会工作者通过扮演姑息关怀团队的维持者角色来追求自己的专业。

Social workers established their professional uniqueness by applying a life oriented perspective to the problem solving process for patient and family in the palliative care unit. Conversely, assignment of social workers and role conflict between social workers and nurses seemed to limit the opportunity for social workers to provide direct assistance to patient and family in the palliative care unit. Under these circumstances, social workers pursue their professionalism by functioning as a maintenance role of the palliative care team.
