| Abstract Text: This symposium was organized by the SSWR's End-of-Life Interest Group and includes four papers that address the theme of Challenges in End-of-Life Care: Social Work Researchers Respond. These papers collectively speak to the pressing social problem of improving end-of-life care in a variety of applied settings (nursing home, hospice/hospital, outpatient, and community contexts) with diverse populations, and employ a range of research methods. The presenters will discuss the central role of social work in addressing complex end-of-life issues faced by patients and families, the importance of professional practice and social policy in responding holistically to end-of-life care needs, and future research directions. | |||
