Moral Distress and Building Resilience
Type:
Article
This article published by Johns Hopkins Nursing stresses the threat of moral distress on nurse retention. Through a scenario, the causes of moral distress — intractable value conflicts, ineffective communication, lack of teamwork, organizational oversights, staffing policies, and health care system pressures — are illustrated as a risk to not only the provider but also patient well-being. Nurse and author, Cynda Rushton, underscores the need to cultivating moral resilience through organizational interventions.
