Abstract

An interdisciplinary approach to care is essential and crucial in the practice of end-of-life and hospice care. However, there is a lack of data on how social workers and art therapists may work together to provide psychosocial-spiritual interventions. This case study illustrates how the home hospice medical social worker and art therapist employed complementary methods to fulfill the wish of a young adult with advanced cancer through legacy work. Similar team approaches in practice may benefit other patients with similar needs. Further research is needed to investigate patient care outcomes and formulate guidelines to inform and encourage the use of similar complementary team practices.

一个跨学科的方法，以遗产工作为一个年轻的癌症患者-一个案例说明。

在临终关怀和临终关怀的实践中，跨学科的护理方法是必不可少的。然而，缺乏关于社会工作者和艺术治疗师如何共同提供心理-社会-精神干预的数据。本个案研究说明居家安宁疗护医疗社工与艺术治疗师如何运用互补的方法，透过遗赠工作，来满足一位罹患晚期癌症的年轻成人的愿望。在实践中，类似的团队方法可能会使其他有类似需求的患者受益。需要进一步的研究来调查患者护理结果，并制定指导方针，以告知和鼓励使用类似的补充团队实践。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care, now affiliated with the Social Work in Hospice and Palliative Care Network, explores issues crucial to caring for terminally ill patients and their families. Academics and social work practitioners present current research, articles, and continuing features on the "state of the art" of social work practice, including interdisciplinary interventions, practice innovations, practice evaluations, end-of-life decision-making, grief and bereavement, and ethical and moral issues. The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care combines theory and practice to facilitate an understanding of the multi-level issues surrounding care for those in pain and suffering from painful, debilitating, and/or terminal illness.
