Suffering from a disease is usually an unpredictable risk. Upon confirmation of a diagnosis, patients need a lot of assistance in physical, psychological, and emotional adaptation. To meet the needs of patients and their family, an increasing number of patients' organizations have been established and operated to provide patients suffering from diseases and their family with psychological care and social resources. As a result, an increasing number of patients' organizations have employed social workers, whose core competencies are worthy of investigation. This study conducted focus groups on workers at patients' organizations in the northern, central, and southern Taiwan, with 3 focus groups in the northern Taiwan, 1 focus group in the central Taiwan, and 1 focus group in the southern Taiwan. 3-8 members participated in each focus group, with a total of 25 members. This study found that the core competencies of social workers at patients' organizations include 4 major dimensions: firstly, the dimension of patients' background and needs, including (1) the ability to apply the knowledge about disease treatment and care; (2) the ability to understand the unique culture of patients. Secondly, the dimension of patient treatment, including (1) the ability to perform interviews with patients; (2) the ability to accompany patients and implement preliminary intervention; (3) the ability to catalyze family and patient volunteers; (4) the ability to provide welfare-related consultations; (5) the ability to be likable to patients. Thirdly, the dimension of group work, including (1) the ability to implement group activities design and lead group activities; (2) the ability to operate patient groups. Lastly (fourthly), the dimension of group integration. Based on the research findings and discussions, this study suggested that: (1) the educational training of social workers at patients' organizations should include courses, internship, and industry-academia cooperation to enable future workers to learn and experience patient care; (2) the workplaces of patients' organizations should offer more practical trainings; (3) the professional training of social workers at patients' organizations should be organized or patient alliance should be established to facilitate professional development.
