Moral Distress and Moral Injury in ICU Clinicians

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this talk, Professor Beth Epstein discusses moral distress and moral injury in the ICU. Moral distress occurs when clinicians are unable to take ethically appropriate actions or are forced to participate in actions they deem unethical. Moral injury involves a sense of betrayal of what is morally right by someone in authority. Epstein explains the difference between measures of moral distress and moral injury and suggests interventions such as naming and recognizing moral distress, speaking up and finding support networks. She also describes a study that identified common sources of moral distress and the strategies used to address them.
