| Summary: | 碩士 === 長榮大學 === 社會工作學系(所) === 99 === This study investigated the understanding of the medical social workers to their own work. Four medical social workers of eight years experience at the medical center of Southern Taiwan were interviewed as the main reporters of this study. The information gathered from the interviews were narratied to become pictures of how medical social workers recognize their professional work.
From the analysis of the narrative contents obtained from the four medical social workers, it is found that they have something in common and something different in experience the medical social work. When facing the conflicts of the priorities between social workers and the hospital, they have their own way of survival. They always are capable of constructing professional image and confidence from practical work and to find the power to carry on under the unfavorable circumstances. From their story, I realize that medical social workers have difficulty defining their roles and are relatively helpless under the government policy system; nevertheless, they are proud of the professional image they built up, which bring out the multiple images of their medical social work.
