Hospice social work: a search for identity
Humans; United States; Aged; Social Work; Role; Philosophy; Hospice Care/psychology; Hospices/trends
This article describes social work's contribution to hospice philosophy and practice, calls attention to the lack of a distinct social work function on hospice teams, and examines various ways to resolve the problem of social work identity in hospice care. Insights from recent peer discussions of hospice social workers tend to support Kulys and Davis's (1986) earlier findings that psychosocial care is provided regularly by hospice team members other than social workers. Options for strengthening the hospice social work role are discussed, including the development of more specific therapeutic techniques and social work leadership in conducting applied research. The importance of maintaining a value-based, critical perspective is stressed.

According to recent data, 78 percent of hospice social workers' direct practice hours are spent with patients and families diagnosed with terminal cancer. A national sample of 108 hospice social workers participated in an exploratory study investigating the influence of their formal academic training, informal on-the-job training, and related professional and personal experiences on their preparation for oncology social work. Findings suggest that social workers view both the generalist or core courses as well as the specialist and elective courses as important in preparing them for oncology social work. In addition, on-the-job training focusing on medical terminology, interdisciplinary, collaboration, death and dying and the integration of personal experiences are important for continuing growth and success in this work. Implications for social work practice, research, and formal and informal educational opportunities are discussed.
