Analysis on Theoretical Dimension and Practical Path of Medical Social Work Intervention in Elderly Care Service from the Perspective of Active Aging / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

Actively coping with population aging and promoting high-quality development of the aging business and industry are not only the inherent requirements for building a positive aging society with Chinese characteristics in the new era, but also an important driving force for comprehensively optimizing the supply of urban and rural elderly services. From the perspective of active aging, this paper analyzed the theory of medical social work intervention in elderly care services through three dimensions micro, meso, and macro, and elaborated the practical path of medical social work intervention in elderly care services. It was considered that its own service failed to give play to its professional characteristics, limited social awareness and authority, vague responsibility subject among industries, and inconsistent institutional regulation. Based on this, it was suggested that the key to medical social work intervention in elderly care services lied in clarifying the goal of training medical talents, creating brand services to enhance the visibility of medical social workers, defining the responsible body, and exploring the standardized system construction.
