THE USE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE TREATMENT OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND SOCIAL WORKER IN THE ROLE OF CASE MANAGER

Öz

As the life span of human beings increases, they encounter diseases due to multiple causes, which their ancestors did not encounter much. Modern medicine has not yet found a definitive cure for such diseases. Parkinson's disease, which is believed to be caused by the effects of both genes and environmental conditions, is one of these diseases. A Team-Based Approach to Parkinson's care is necessary because the treatment process for Parkinson's disease is long, laborious, and expensive. In the treatment process of Parkinson's disease, specialists from many different branches may be involved for the new symptoms that the patient encounters. Interdisciplinary work can complicate the treatment process. A case manager is needed to follow the patient's treatment process without interruption and to coordinate the expanding treatment team. Social workers can do the best-case management with their knowledge, skills and values within the scope of medical social work. The case manager's job becomes more difficult as Parkinson's disease progresses and the treatment team expands. It may not be possible for the case manager to find holistic solutions to these problems with a classical sense of duty. New perspectives may be inevitable for solving problems. Emotional intelligence, which is used successfully in developed countries, can also be used successfully in the medical sector and especially in Parkinson's disease, whose treatment process is more complex than other diseases. A holistic treatment can be achieved by instilling emotional intelligence components, which are especially assimilated by the case manager and social worker, to the patient, caregiver and treatment team. In this article, it is aimed that the use of emotional intelligence in medical social work interventions will lead to interdisciplinary studies.
