Objective: To identify the barriers and facilitators of managing intimate partner violence (IPV) cases, from the perspective of primary health care (PHC) social workers. Method:Qualitative study through interviews with 14 social workers working in PHC centres in Spain. A thematic analysis approach was applied to identify barriers and facilitators according to the Tanahashi model. Results:The barriers identified by social workers in providing effective coverage to women suffering from IPV included insufficient practical training, a lack of knowledge from women on social workers' roles, a lack of teamwork, and excess IPV case referrals from other professionals to social workers. The identified facilitators were the existence of electronic protocols and good practices including therapeutic support groups and holistic intervention approaches.Conclusions: An excess of referrals to social workers of identified IPV cases following consultation by other members of the PHC team, alongside the lack of interdisciplinary teamwork, does not enable a comprehensive and holistic approach to this problem. Compulsory, practical, and interdisciplinary training in IPV for all PHC professionals and students must be a priority for health agencies and universities in order to facilitate a comprehensive and quality approach for all women suffering from IPV.

“…Moreover, clinicians must be alert to the range of psychosocial issues which affect recovery and actively work to minimise the consequences of illness and improve health outcomes for the child. We are mindful of factors that can impact the capacity to receive care, and the linkages between ‘social illnesses and problems’ and mental illness, such as would be seen in child abuse, exemplifying how psychosocial issues will affect a child and their health outcomes ([ 10 ], p. 25).…”

Childhood is a stage of life that is filled with potential for development, and the early years of childhood see immense physical changes in growth; mastery over body functions like movement; the acquisition of language and cognitive development to understand their own and others’ thinking and reasoning; and the psychosocial development of trust in the world, comfort in the care they receive from parents and caregivers, and the sense of being secure in themselves that this engenders.

“…Therefore, social work in health care may be viewed as comprehensive and holistic, and inclusive of a wide range of services that are not limited to biopsychosocial assessment, therapeutic interventions, discharge planning and care, education, brokering and mediations (Auslander, 2001;AASW, 2016a;AASW 2016b;Bentley, 2002;Browne, 2006;Carbonatto, 2019;Davis, Milosevic, Baldry & Walsh, 2004;Dhooper, 2012;Gehlert, 2006;Ruth & Marshall, 2017;Segal et al, 2018).…”

“…Globally and in the South African context, the role of social work in health care has been of great value and importance because of its unique position in the health sector. Browne (2006) and Segal et al, (2018) indicated that social work is a crucial part of the delivery of optimal and effective health care services. Facets of social work in health care include helping patients deal with the impact of disease or loss, while also ensuring compliance and the health and wellbeing of patients and their families.…”

“…The South African context requires a range of responses to address its vulnerable populations' urgent needs. Social work in health care responds to people's diverse and complex needs once they come into contact with any health care setting (Ashcroft, 2014;Auslander, 2001;Browne, 2006;Dhooper, 2012). This interface with health care settings places people in direct contact with social workers regarding disease and its impact, simultaneously allowing them to address other needs.…”

Social work in health care delivers essential services to South Africa’s vulnerable populations. The social development approach attempts to address inequalities and uplift vulnerable people. An explanatory-sequential mixed methodological study explored the application of the social development approach to social work in health care in the Gauteng Department of Health. The findings indicated that social workers in health care deliver a diverse service in attending to patients’ needs and are ideally situated to address and implement the social development approach. However, challenges are experienced in the absence of strategic policies regarding the implementation of the social development approach in health care.
