Role of the social worker in the area of health
One of the problems that is currently consuming to society in general is drug use, a definition for this terminology is given by Rivera-Mecias (2020) which describes that:
Drug addiction can begin with the experimental consumption of a recreational drug in social situations, in some people, drug use becomes more frequent, while in other people drug addiction begins with exposure to prescription medications, therefore, therefore, therefore,The risk of addiction and speed to become addicted varies according to the type of drug consumed (P. fifteen).
The relationship that the social worker has and his participation in the context of addiction to various illegal substances is over fifty years old, proof of this is a study published to the nineteenth century. This study has as its central axis the role played by the specialist in the field with various procedures carried out around the addiction of different substances mentioned above. Which emphasizes the characteristics that may be associated with this type of valuation among which it is possible to identify the social environment, with its ramifications in the family framework, work and members of society that share the same social link (Sixto-Costoyand Arroyo, 2018).
However, the work environment for the specialists of individuals who are immersed in the environment of the addiction of various substances has as its central point the social services which can belong to the government sector or individuals. However, it should be noted that the most direct action that takes place in community/ basic social services, which are usually the entrance door to specialized services, and a strategic site to make a first detection of an addiction problem "(Sixto-Costoya and Arroyo, 2018, P.149). However, the family nucleus represents a fundamental pillar so that the individual can solve this problem that directly or indirectly is related to the nearby family (Martínez, Rodríguez and Vinces, 2019).
In short, social work professionals for those who are immersed in the drug world have to be responsible for reforming their personality disorders. Supplying those related to instability which produces that their quality of life decreases, providing new qualities such as emotional stability;believing firmly in the ability of each individual to overcome themselves based on effort. Establishing new priorities within the environment in which it develops and including those people who represent an anchor so that it has the ability to cope with all adversities (Barreto-Pico, 2017).
Taking into consideration all the points set forth above, Cuenca, Armijos and Cedeño (2017):
This social problem provides the pattern to act the role of the social worker, who is required to change innovative paradigms, which qualitatively improve the quality of professional management according to current demands through a practice, activist, creative, and theoretical-scientific andMethodological, capable of responding effectively to the demands demanded by its professional practice (P. 146).
Role of the social worker in the area of health
“The figure of the health worker within the hospital sphere was born in the USA. UU. At the beginning of the 20th century, specifically in 1905 ”(Sánchez de Andrés, 2019, P.14). When relating social workers to the different health centers and their various areas, it is possible to understand what they have in these physical spaces, which has a close relationship with the identification of the collective problems that it may haveWith the environment in which you develop your activities. In addition to the problems that the individual can affect their psychological development in society that in a direct or indirect way their physical, mental well -being and how it behaves within their sociabilization environment with the family nucleus. Thus, the assistance provided by social workers goes hand in hand with the social reintegration of patients and their family nucleus. But it should be noted that the first step to advance in the intercession process occurs with its family internal nucleus;since, this has direct contact with the patient that is delicate by the condition that it suffers (Guzñay and Patricia, 2020).
However, it is also necessary that “social workers make significant contributions in the administrative field, since they develop efforts for inter-institutional coordination that facilitate the accessibility and integrality of the health service” (Correa-Arango, Korena-Argota, Chavarriaga-Strada, García-Valencia, and Usme-Baena, 2019, P. 211). Another role in which the social worker is immersed is to establish relationships with different organizations and group representatives with the aim of promoting health actions (Rodríguez, Diego and Seller, 2018).
A link role between the care levels of primary and specialized care is assigned, enunciating as an obligation the function of coordinating with other services and departments of the health system and to establish roads or coordination protocols with the social workers of other care levels. With respect to patients, you must support your attendance to specialized services.
In this same sense according to Guzñay and Patricia (2020), it establishes that:
The role that the health social worker fulfills is to take care of the psychosocial intervention of the patients, according to the social problem through which the human being and their relatives, medical services and social work are linked to the intervention with the interdisciplinary team, since relations with other specialties for treatment and diagnosis are essential, participation with patients and family members is essential to identify the facts of the events and events of problems. This process can be defined that social work in health is direct intervention with people to give treatment according to detected psychosocial problems (P. 39).
