The Emerging Social Work Role on Hospital Ethics Committees: A Comparison of Social Worker and Chair Perspectives.

Csikai, Ellen L.; Sales, Esther

Social Work, v43 n3 p233-42 May 1998

Social work members of ethics committees (n=85) and their respective chairpersons (n=85) were surveyed concerning the emerging role for social workers on hospital ethics committees. Congruence between role expectation and role performance was evaluated within three major areas of social work participation: case consultation, policy, and education. Opportunities for contribution are discussed. (Author/EMK)
