ABSTRACT

Research regarding the intersection of social work and integrated care has recently increased. Although research specific to the role and engagement of social workers in integrated care is promising, research regarding attitudes toward social workers on integrated behavioral health (IBH) teams remains scant. This study provides perspective regarding healthcare professionals’ attitudes toward the role of social workers on IBH teams. A survey was constructed and distributed to health professionals (n = 104) from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work. Mixed methods were used to evaluate survey findings. Results suggest attitudes toward social workers on IBH teams are generally favorable.

摘要

关于社会工作和综合护理交叉的研究最近有所增加。尽管针对社会工作者在综合护理中的作用和参与度的研究很有希望，但关于综合行为健康 (IBH) 团队对社会工作者的态度的研究仍然很少。本研究提供了有关医疗保健专业人员对社会工作者在 IBH 团队中的作用的态度的观点。一项调查被构建并分发给来自医学、护理、药学和社会工作的卫生专业人员（n = 104）。使用混合方法评估调查结果。结果表明，IBH 团队对社会工作者的态度普遍良好。
