Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 社會工作學系 === 96 === Abstract Due to the Second generation NHI policy and Reform of hospital accreditation which are strongly related with the management of hospitals, the role and development of social workers in the medical area have been heavily influenced by the change in the last five or six years. This study refers to the reflection and application of medical social workers under medical transformation. The aim of the research is to let them reflect about their work and find suitable applications for them. Data was collected by focus group interview. The group included seven members, who all had more than five-year working experiences and have been working as a medical social worker in the past five years. Findings include: When the framework of medical industry is changing, the changes also require hospitals to develop applications to adapt; the process of policy-making affects every department of hospital organizations and brings some conflicts on the practice way; and for professional and individual development, medical social workers have to face the challenge and find the problem-solving strategies. The author has appointed four specific issues and in-depth discussions according to the findings, and gives several suggestions for future studies. Key words: medical social worker、reflection、problem-solving strategies、 focus group
