“…Renal social workers are the "natural source of health policy information for patients, as well as other professionals" (Berkman, Bonander, Rutchik, Silverman, Marcus, & Isaacson-Rubinger, 1990), and they provide information to patients and their families about sources of information that are unknown to the family (Berkman et al, 1990;McKinley & Callahan, 1998). Arthur, Zalemski, Giermek, & Lamb (2000) have shown that nonrenal medical professionals (such as home care or nursing home care providers) are mostly unfamiliar with the ESRD psychosocial issues, such as patient eligibility for Medicare, patient ability to work and travel, patient self-determination issues involving discontinuing treatment, and patients' sexual and reproductive problems. Renal social workers are key in assisting patients in navigating medical services for their multiple needs and advocating for patients with community providers that are not attuned to such special needs.…”

“…Interdisciplinary CKD care is associated with fewer hospitalizations and lower mortality (Goldstein, Yassa, Dacouris, & McFarlane, 2004), and MSW participation can be used to educate nonrenal community care providers on the unique issues related to CKD patient care (Arthur et al, 2000). Social work participation in multidisciplinary patient education has been shown to be important in increasing the number of early dialysis access placements (Lindber et al, 2005).…”

2019 brings exciting changes to the delivery of kidney disease care in the United States and beyond. We have increasing attention to home dialysis and kidney transplantation as preferred treatment modalities for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), new organizations such as CVS Pharmacy and Cricket expanding leadership in chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment, innovative treatment options such as wearable and implantable kidneys on the horizon, and a new stream of funding for kidney disease innovation throughKidneyX. These changes are happening at the same time that patient-centered research is becoming the standard in outcomes evaluation. Nephrology social workers (NSWs) must act now to position ourselves as leaders in this new kidney disease paradigm; these opportunities present an exciting time for social workers to highlight how our interventions can help patients have the best outcomes as kidney disease care evolves.

“…Arthur ve ark. diyalizde çalışmayan sağlık profesyonellerinin kronik böbrek yetmezliğine eşlik eden psikososyal sorunlara aşina olmadıklarını, örneğin hastanın çalışmak, seyahat etmek ve sosyal sigorta sisteminden yararlanmak için uygun olup olmadığını, tedaviye katılımlarında kendi kaderlerini tayin hakları ve cinsel sorunları hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadıklarını belirtmektedir (18). Bu nedenlerle nefrolojik sosyal hizmet uzmanları hasta ile sunulan hizmetlerin bir araya getirilmesinde ve savunuculuk konularında hastaya yardım sürecinde önemli bir role sahiptir.…”

ÖzNefroloji ünitesindeki sağlık hizmetleri yalnız fiziksel/tıpsal boyuttaki hizmetleri değil aynı zamanda psikolojik ve sosyal boyutu da içeren hizmetlerdir. Tüm dünyada nefroloji ünitesindeki sağlık hizmetleri; nefrologlar ve asistanlar, hemşireler, diyetisyenler, sosyal hizmet uzmanları ve psikologlardan oluşan bir ekip çalışması anlayışıyla verilmektedir. Bu alan sosyal hizmet disiplininde nefrolojik sosyal hizmet olarak adlandırılmakta ve sosyal hizmet bilgi, değer ve becerilerinin nefroloji ünitesinde tıbbi bakım gören hastalara uyarlandığı bir sosyal hizmet alanıdır. Türkiye'de bu alan, yeterli sayıda sosyal hizmet uzmanının ve akademik çalışmanın bulunmaması nedeniyle istenilen gelişimi gösterememiştir. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada nefroloji ünitesinde görev yapan ekibin bir üyesi olan sosyal hizmet uzmanın bu alandaki rol ve işlevleri ele alınacaktır. AnAhtAR sÖzcükleR: Nefrolojik sosyal hizmet, Tıbbi sosyal hizmet, Kronik böbrek yetmezliği AbstRActHealth services in nephrology units include not only the physical/medical services, but also psychological and social services. Such services in nephrology units are presented around the world by teams that consist of nephrologists and assistants, nurses, nutritionists, social workers and psychologists. This area is called nephrology social work in the social work discipline, and the knowledge, value and skills used in such social work are adapted to patients who are receiving medical care in the nephrology unit. This area has not improved as much as desired in Turkey because of the insufficient numbers of social workers and relevant academic studies. We evaluated the roles and functions of social workers that are members of the team working in nephrology units in this study.

“…Patients at risk of CKD need to be screened and monitored yearly for blood glucose, blood pressure, urine analysis for microalbuminuria, and serum creatinine, and renal function should be expressed as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation [2]. Ideally, caring for CRF patients requires integrated and systematic approach from an integrated renal team [3, 4]. …”

Patients with CRF usually progress through different stages before they reach ESRD and require special medical, social and psychological care and support during the pre-ESRD and following renal replacement therapy (RRT). Early referral of patients with CRF has the advantage of receiving adequate management and regular followup, with significant reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, attending an education program, prepared psychologically, participate in the decision of type of RRT, preemptive kidney transplantation, early creation of dialysis access, and adequate training in selected modality of RRT. During the early stages of commencement of RRT, psychological support and social care with rehabilitation program are mandatory. The degree of involvement and interaction must be individualized according to the needs of patient and type of RRT. A multidisciplinary team is crucial for implementation of a variety of strategies to help staff intervene more effectively in meeting the care needs of CRF patients.
