As the pandemic recedes, will moral distress continue to surge?

Article indépendant

VIG, Elizabeth K.

Palliative care practitioners have encountered morally distressing situations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and have supported their colleagues experiencing moral distress. Familiarity with the concept of moral distress and with COVID-specific causes of moral distress may help palliative care practitioners recognize moral distress in themselves and in their colleagues. This essay provides a brief review of the concept of moral distress, a list of potential COVID-19 specific causes of moral distress, and a list of organizational, team, and individual interventions to promote resilience.
