Description
Summary:Reports the results of a survey that sought to measure the “ethical awareness” of healthcare professionals at a number of area hospitals and nursing homes. Notes that the survey was helpful in isolating areas for needed inservices on ethical issues. Indicates that in creating the ethical environment necessary for the making of ethical decisions, pastoral care staff can offer encouragement to administrators in assessing the ethical awareness of the hospital's employees in such a way that not only clinical staff, but support staff and administrators as well, become more aware that many “non-clinical” situations are also the arena for ethical decision-making.
