摘要

尼日利亚教学医院的长期住院对病人护理和医院管理构成重大挑战,社会经济和系统因素加剧了这一挑战。本案例研究报告着眼于医疗社会工作者在应对这些挑战方面的多方面作用,重点关注他们在提供心理社会支持、协调护理和在紧张的医疗保健系统中倡导患者方面的努力。本案例研究强调了资源限制和医院实践不足对患者结果的影响,强调了对患者及其家属的心理伤害。它强调了医务社会工作者的关键作用,因为他们导航复杂的医疗保健景观,以减轻长期住院治疗的不利影响。这就要求采取全面的方法来解决这些系统性问题,包括政策改革、增加医疗保健资金和医院管理方面的战略改进。因此,迫切需要进行系统性变革,以确保为所有尼日利亚人提供更具弹性和同情心的医疗保健环境。

The Prolonged Hospital Stays at Nigerian Teaching Hospitals: Roles of Medical Social Workers.

Prolonged hospital stays in Nigerian teaching hospitals pose a significant challenge to patient care and hospital management, exacerbated by socio-economic and systemic factors. This case study report looked at the multifaceted role of medical social workers in addressing these challenges, focusing on their efforts in providing psychosocial support, coordinating care, and advocating for patients within a strained healthcare system. This case-study highlights the impact of resource constraints and inadequate hospital practices on patient outcomes, emphasizing the psychological toll on patients and their families. It underscores the critical role of medical social workers as they navigate complex healthcare landscapes to mitigate the adverse effects of extended hospitalizations. This calls for a comprehensive approach to address these systemic issues, including policy reforms, increased healthcare funding, and strategic improvements in hospital administration. Hence the urgency of systemic change to ensure a more resilient and compassionate healthcare environment for all Nigerians.
