Resumo
O Assistente Social é um profissional qualificado que, privilegiando e usufruindo de uma intervenção de formação,
de pesquisa e de análise da realidade social, actua na formulação, execução e avaliação de serviços, programas e políticas sociais que visam a preservação, defesa e ampliação dos direitos humanos e da justiça social.
A Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados (RNCCI) surgiu em 2006 em função das necessidades
analisadas no sistema de saúde português e da constatação de que o mesmo não promovia a reabilitação dos
diferentes grupos de doentes. Assim, criou-se a Rede pela necessidade de se instituir um nível intermédio e
integrado de cuidados de saúde e de apoio social e como meio de ligação entre o internamento hospitalar e o
regresso à comunidade.
Metodologicamente, e através da aplicação de questionários numa Unidade de Cuidados Continuados Integrados,
objectivou-se evidenciar a importância do Serviço social nessa Unidade, quer através da opinião de profissionais
de Serviço social como de profissionais de diferentes áreas.
Os resultados foram produtivos e positivos, concluindo-se que a área do Serviço social é valorizada intervindo a
diversos níveis, apoiando os utentes, as famílias / cuidadores e os profissionais das restantes áreas.
The Social Worker is a qualified professional who, by proper training intervention and by research and analysis of social reality, is ready to act, execute and evaluate services, programs and social policies aiming to preserve, protect and expand human rights and social justice. The Portuguese National Network of Integrated Continuous Care (RNCCI) emerged in 2006 considering the health care needs with the recognition that the system could not cope with the rehabilitation needs of the different groups of patients. Thus, this health structure was created to establish an intermediary between health and social care and as a way to connect hospitalization and clinical discharge, as well as re-integration into the community. The primary goal was to clearly assess the importance of the social service in one Continuous Care Unit by using, as methodology, questioner applications for different professionals (social service team and other health team members). The results were helpful and positive, allowing us to conclude that the social service area is valued by the team members at different levels with a fundamental goal of supporting patients, families / caregivers and the other health professionals in their interventions.
