Development of Moral Injury in ICU Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Prospective Serial Interview Study (CCM)

Back to course

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Niek Kok, a PhD student in Clinical Ethics, discusses his study on moral injury among intensive care unit (ICU) professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. Moral injury refers to a lasting character wound that arises from acts that violate core beliefs about right and wrong. Through interviews with 26 ICU professionals, Kok found that some professionals exhibited signs of moral injury, such as feelings of betrayal, detachment, and disorientation. Healthcare organizations should monitor signs of moral injury and provide support and avenues for discussion to prevent alienation and isolation among healthcare workers.
