The status and perspective of professional ethics in Slovakia - ethics of social work in health care
Abstract
The paper reflects the situation and possible visions for the development of social work ethics in health care in Slovakia in the context of its current position in specific health care institutions within the confines of declared legal norms. It emphasizes examples of good philosophical and methodological practice from abroad, the activities of the professional NASW association, as well as empirical experience of social workers with reference to visualizing possible implantation of social workers into the health care system, especially within managed care systems in Slovakia.
