| Abstract | A drug-resistant TB diagnosis can be devastating for patients and their families. Long-term hospitalization and facing a stigmatized disease lead to loss of income, disruptions in families, social isolation, and lower self-esteem. Social workers (SWs) are well-placed to enhance social protection for patients, families, and communities. Involving the patient as a central member of the healthcare team may improve health outcomes. SW knowledge of the healthcare system may help patients navigate this often-complex system. Families and other treatment supporters may benefit from treatment literacy, infection control strategies, and the management of side effects. Community awareness involves TB education that may help to destigmatize TB. This presentation draws on cases from the perspective of a SW at a TB referral hospital in KwaZulu-Natal to develop recommendations for how SWs can use their expertise to link patients with resources and work collaboratively outside the healthcare system to meet multifaceted patient needs. |
