English

Palliative care social work has developed primarily as a specialist health-related form of clinical social work. However, the resource-intensive modernist medicalized practice of Western countries has been culturally inappropriate elsewhere. Broader end-of-life care and community education outside healthcare settings offers opportunities to develop palliative care social work in the direction of social development practice.

French

Le travail social de soin palliatif s’est au départ développé en tant que forme particulière de travail social clinique en relation avec la santé. Toutefois, la pratique médicalisée moderniste et intensément dotée en ressources des pays occidentaux, a parfois été culturellement inappropriée ailleurs. Plus largement le soin de fin de vie et l’éducation communautaire en dehors des dispositifs de soins de santé offrent des opportunités de développer le travail social de soin palliatif dans le sens des pratiques de développement social concernées.

Spanish

El trabajo social en el campo del cuidado paliativo se ha desarrollado primariamente como una especialidad del trabajo social clínico relacionado con la salud. Sin embargo, la práctica medicalizada y muy cara de las sociedades occidentales, no es apropiada culturalmente en otros lugares. Un cuidado al final de la vida más amplio, conectado a la educación de la comunidad, y al margen de las organizaciones médicas, ofrece oportunidades de desarrollar un trabajo social de cuidado paliativo que conduzca a una práctica de desarrollo social.

Key Words: clinical social work • end-of-life care • health promotion • medicalization • palliative care
