The nature of the Gulf War and its consequences for the public at the personal and community levels, called for considerable alterations in organization and management at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, the largest government general hospital in Israel, with constant adaptation to the changing situation. The preparations and exercises preceding the state of emergency, combined with the knowledge and experience gained in similar situations in the past, equipped the staff of the Social Work Department to function adequately and to make appropriate decisions and changes in the face of moral and ethical dilemmas, as well as immediate physical threat. This article presents the rationale for the model of intervention that guided the hospital during the Gulf War in offering services to casualty victims and their families. Also discussed are the process of developing an organizational framework and its content that meets wartime demands, and the implications for social work practice in dealing with a war crisis.
海湾战争的性质及其在个人和社区层面给公众带来的后果，要求以色列最大的政府综合医院——海姆·谢巴医疗中心在组织和管理方面做出重大调整，并不断适应形势变化。紧急状态之前的准备工作和演习，再加上过去在类似情况下积累的知识和经验，使社会工作部的工作人员有能力充分发挥作用，并在面对道德和伦理困境以及直接的人身威胁时做出适当的决策和改变。本文阐述了在海湾战争期间指导医院为伤亡人员及其家属提供服务的干预模式的基本原理。还讨论了制定满足战时需求的组织框架的过程及其内容，以及应对战争危机对社会工作实践的影响。
