O nouă abordare a asistenței sociale de spital
A New Approach to Hospital Social Work

Summary/Abstract: The profession of social worker in the emergency departments represents a new direction of development of the social assistance services in the field of health care. Currently, more and more studies emphasize the need to integrate medical and psychosocial care, suggesting that health systems could better manage patients' medical problems if they also addressed their psychosocial problems. However, studies are relatively few, which is why future research is essential to support the value of social work in healthcare teams. Our research is based on studies performed within the Emergency Receiving Unit (UPU-SMURD) of the County Hospital "Dr. Constantin Opriș" in Baia Mare. The present study draws an overview of the types of social problems that accompany and influence the health problems of the population served in this service, and facilitates the precise definition of the problems, in order to carry out the steps to find suitable solutions.
