Empowering Healthcare: The Integral Role Of Social Workers In Saudi Hospitals

Abstract

The incorporation of social workers into healthcare systems has been more widely acknowledged due to their many functions in improving patient care and general health (Alqahtani, 2020). The recognition of social workers' presence and contributions in hospital settings has grown throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) (Alghamdi & Almutairi, 2019). The precise roles and effects of social workers in Saudi hospitals are still largely unknown, despite this acknowledgment. Globally, social workers' involvement in healthcare contexts have been the subject of extensive study (Alabdulaziz & Qutub, 2017), which offers insightful information that may help shape and improve social work practices in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system.
