On the basis of comparison and synthesis of the received information, its generalization was made and presented in the form of conclusions
Results. The activities of social workers in the field of health-care are based on two main groups of theories – basic, found on the results of social work practices, and adopted from psychology, psychiatry, bioethics, nursing care, health care, sociology, administration.
