A contribuição do serviço social na alta social de pacientes pós transplantados de medula óssea

Abstract

This work is the result of experience in the mandatory internship field of the Social Work course in the Hemato-oncology sector of the Santa Maria University Hospital (HUSM). During the internship period, it was observed that at times the Social Service was requested by the multidisciplinary team in the hospitalization sectors to respond to demands from users on the verge of hospital discharge, requiring quick responses from the professional. In other situations, Social Services were not requested, triggering clinical discharge without assessing the patient's social discharge status. Therefore, this work aims to explain the importance of the social worker's practice in the context of planning the social discharge of post-bone marrow transplant patients, identifying social determinants that may represent challenges in the return to home of these patients, considering that the BMT requires specialized care due to the high risk of clinical complications that may arise after the procedure and which may even lead to the patient's death. The qualitative work uses theoretical bibliographical contributions that involve the topic, it also presents data collected from the intervention project developed during the internship period, as well as an experience report identifying the particularities of the Social Worker's performance. in the context of a High Complexity hospital.
