Abstract: With the restoration and development of medical social work in mainland China, stakeholders including healthcare professionals, patients, and their families have developed certain shared expectations regarding the roles of medical social workers, which facilitated the foundation for cross-professional collaboration. However, medical social workers continue to encounter challenges within interdisciplinary teams, mainly due to a lack of consensus on their roles, along with a lack of external support and intrinsic professional development in role practices. The present study consists of a questionnaire survey in Shanghai, Hubei and Guangdong in 2023 (the first step) and an analysis of annual reports of six hospitals in a city in 2022 (the second step). It is found that the practice development of cross-professional collaboration in medical social work requires overcoming both extrinsic obstacles and intrinsic deficiencies. The professional development of medical social work itself is regarded as the cornerstone of cross-professional collaboration, and the endogenous path to break through the bottleneck involves the production of institutionalized knowledge and the independent development of clinical technology.

Key words: medical social work, cross-professional cooperation, role consensus, role practice
