Solving problems in compliance with ethical norms and rules contributes to strengthening the authority of health managers. The purpose of this study is to identify the ethical aspects of management decision making by health care managers. A survey of two groups of respondents - 82 nurses and 36 health care managers / chief and senior nurses / was conducted. The results show that most health care managers deal with solving management problems, but have difficulty in solving problematic situations where ethical aspects influence. Healthcare professionals have a desire to be involved in training that offers consideration of specific ethical case studies in the professional sphere. It is necessary to develop ethics in the field of health care management in order to increase the competence of the managers in this field.
