The article aims to analyze the work of social workers at a hospital in a city in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro State (Brazil), through the study of the professional profile, routine work and demands targeted to Social Work. Methodologically, it was based on bibliographic and field research. The results indicate that the work of social workers can be characterized by administrative and assistance activities, based on the immediate and singularity of the subjects, through information and, to a lesser extent, an attempt to understand the social determinants of their illness. In this context, the institutional organization, centered in the medical-biological treatment of the disease, is presented as one of the objective determinants of the work.Downloads
