Abstract

This study addresses the complex challenge of meeting social and medical needs in wartime by examining the scientifically grounded implementation of integrated service approaches. The aim of the study was to examine the peculiarities of implementing social work and the provision of social services in the healthcare system under wartime conditions. The research methodology was based on a systematic analysis of 65 scientific publications published between 2021 and 2025 on social work, social services, and healthcare in wartime settings. This was followed by the theoretical systematization of organizational, functional, and intersectoral factors that shape the implementation of integrated care models. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of social and medical assistance depends not only on the availability of separate services, but also on their integration into a coordinated system. Particular importance is attached to the consistency of interactions between institutions, the clarity of procedures, and the continuity of support. The study showed that social work performs a central integrative function within this system by linking medical, psychological, and social assistance. Where coordination between services is ensured, service users do not need to repeatedly explain their circumstances or navigate fragmented support pathways. This integration facilitates more streamlined and effective service delivery, especially for individuals who have lost their homes or sustained war-related injuries. The findings also demonstrated that interinstitutional cooperation is not only desirable but essential in unstable wartime conditions. When decisions are poorly coordinated, the support system becomes fragmented and less effective than an integrated model of care. This study may be useful for government agencies, managers of social and medical institutions, and practitioners in planning models for the integration of such services in crisis situations.
