Social work and the management of severe head injury.

This article examines the role of the health social worker in the management of the psychosocial sequelae of head injury from the membership perspective. Data relative to the incidence and medical dimensions of head injury and its psychosocial sequelae are briefly reviewed. The social work definition of head injury as a social process, rather than a medical event, is explored. Social work interventions designed to help those affected by head injury to manage home and community life are examined.

Trends in maternal and child health care: implications for research and issues for social work practice.

Trends are reviewed in four areas of maternal and child health care: (1) prenatal care; (2) infant mortality; (3) teenage pregnancy; and (4) HIV infected mothers and infants. The purpose of this review is to identify major trends in these programmatic areas, key indicators of physical-social health risk and survival, and central issues relevant to research and social work practice. Attention is directed to the status of research, and the usefulness of existing data sets available to researchers in the four programmatic areas of maternal and child health care under review. Emphasis is given to the importance of the integration of theory, research findings, and practice.
