The offset of the value accents in business, medicine and pharmacy in modern socio-economic conditions

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a research of the ethics-axiological priorities of a modern entrepreneur and medical worker, which reflects all the complex processes of the modern global economy in general and Russian one in particular. In the domestic version, there is a kind of «fitting» the basics of business ethics practices to the Russian realities, which entails specific changes of economic and management relations. In the sphere of health care, there is the same transformation of traditional value systems on the way of «economic centrism». If previously we often heard the phrase «medical care», now the same action is interpreted as «medical service», which implicitly pushes the mass consciousness to the settings of the utilitarian-pragmatic nature, largely altering problems of social relations’ moral regulation. The relevance of the analysis of changes in the ethical-axiological accents in modern socio-economic situation is linked to insufficient knowledge of the complex issues of business and medical ethics. Understanding the rules of business activity, development of socio-cultural and ethical regulations of entrepreneurship are the main scientific interest of the authors. In the paper we compare the results of our monitoring of ethical principles significance and the trends of changes of medical community’s values in 2008 and 2015. The research was conducted in Kursk municipal hospitals (Russia) and involved 512 doctors who had different labour experience. 31% of them were «novice» doctors with work experience less than 10 years, and 69% had work experience of more than 10 years, so we called them «experienced». The changes that have occurred in the Russian medicine for the past 7 years allow concluding that economy-oriented paradigm of relationships in medical care is strengthening in Russia; for the doctors, there is a growing importance of their material wellbeing securing; however, moral values still form a stable foundation of doctors’ professional perceptions.
