[Investigation of medical social work in Chinese hospitals].

To understand the development of medical social work in China, and provide reference and basis for promoting medical social work in the next stage.
 Methods: A random sampling method was used to survey and analyze the data from questionnaires distributed to hospitals at or above the second level in China.
 Results: Medical social work had been carried out in all parts of the country, but the development was not balanced with the establishment of specialized agencies accounting for about 7.9% of the total survey. Only 17.5% of the hospitals carried out medical social work as a routine work. The medical social work service mainly included volunteer operation and management, patient psychological counseling, and so on.
 Conclusion: The development of medical social work in hospitals in China is still in its infancy, and the regional development is not balanced. Lack of professionals, unclear responsibilities of medical social workers and low social identity of medical social work are the main factors restricting development. 目的：了解我国医院医务社会工作的开展情况，为推进医务社会工作提供参考和依据。方法：通过随机抽样的方法向全国二级以上医院发放问卷进行调查，对数据进行分析。结果：医务社会工作在全国各个地区均有开展，成立专门机构的约占调查总数的7.9%，仅有17.5%的医院将医务社会工作作为常规工作开展，医务社会工作服务内容主要包括志愿者运营管理、患者心理疏导等。结论：我国医院医务社会工作发展还处于起步阶段，地区发展不均衡，专业人才缺乏、岗位职责不明及社会认同度低是制约医务社会工作发展的主要因素。.
