Moral distress is defined as psychological disequilibrium and negative feelings that results from recognizing an ethically appropriate action, yet not taking it because of such barriers. This causes an increase workload of nurses in the intensive care room, resulting burnout that affects nurses, patients and health care providers. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between moral distress and the level of burnout in intensive care room nurses at the dr. Soebandi Hospital Jember. This study used a quantitative descriptive observational analytic with the approach cross sectional design selected 47 nurses as respondents used total sampling. Data collected by Measure of Moral Distress Scale - Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The results revealed that most respondents experienced low moral distress (85.1%) and low burnout (61.7%). The bivariate analysis showed with spearman test that p-value was < 0.001 (α = 0.05; r = 0.531). There was a relationship between moral distress and the level of burnout in intensive care room nurses at the dr. Soebandi Hospital Jember with moderate and positive relationship strength. A healthy work environment plays an important role in the low level of moral distress and burnout, if there are staff skilled in communication, good collaboration between people or professions, effective decision making, proper staffing, recognition and leadership.

Background: The effect of moral distress among healthcare providers is significant on disease morbidity, especially within the intensive care unit (ICU). In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to gather all evidence regarding moral distress frequency and severity/intensity among ICU health care providers. Methods: We conducted a systematic search to gather all relevant studies from six databases, followed by a manual search of references. Fourteen studies consisting of 5905 participants were included in the final moral distress scale analyses. Results: Overall, there was moderate moral distress severity/intensity among all participants (Mean = 27.79; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 7.40–64.18). On further stratification of the results according to countries, Canada (Mean = 91.99; 95% CI = 80.10–105.65) and USA (Mean = 52.54; 95% CI = 44.78–61.64) showed the highest distress scores, followed by Iran (Mean = 21.20; 95% CI = 7.21–62.30) and Italy (Mean = 3.42; 95% CI = 3.15–3.72). Studies conducted in high income-earning countries reported more severity/intensity (Mean = 22.65; 95% CI = 6.58–78.02) compared to those in the upper-middle income-earning ones (Mean = 18.89; 95% CI = 2.80–127.34). There was significant heterogeneity among the included studies, which could not be explained by the difference in scales, country of the participants, or the female proportion. Moreover, there was a moderate frequency of moral distress (Mean = 46.83; 95% CI = 8.34–262.87), which was found to be much higher (Mean = 87.94; 95% CI = 83.55–92.57), in performing analysis. Conclusion: Moral distress is a major problem in the ICU setting, in terms of both severity/intensity and frequency. Future large-scale studies are required, through a unified framework, to develop appropriate interventions to address ICU-related moral distress.

OBJECTIVE: to identify relationships between moral distress and Burnout in the professional performance from the perceptions of the experiences of nursing workers. METHODS: this is a survey type study with 375 nursing workers working in three different hospitals of southern Rio Grande do Sul, with the application of adaptations of the Moral Distress Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, validated and standardized for use in Brazil. Data validation occurred through factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha. For the data analysis bivariate analysis using Pearson's correlation and multivariate analysis using multiple regression were performed. RESULTS: the existence of a weak correlation between moral distress and Burnout was verified. A possible positive correlation between Burnout and therapeutic obstinacy, and a negative correlation between professional fulfillment and moral distress were identified. CONCLUSION: the need was identified for further studies that include mediating and moderating variables that may explain more clearly the models studied.

Background: Moral distress and workplace bullying are important issues in the nursing workplace that appear to affect nurse’s burnout. Aim: To investigate the relationship between moral distress and burnout in Iranian nurses, as mediated by their perceptions of workplace bullying. Ethical considerations: The research was approved by the committee of ethics in research of the Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Method: This is a correlation study using a cross-sectional design with anonymous questionnaires as study instruments (i.e. Moral Distress Scale-Revised, Maslach Burnout Inventory and The Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised). Data were collected from 278 nurses from five teaching hospitals in Urmia, the capital of Western Azerbaijan, northwest of Iran. Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping procedures were employed to recognize the mediating role of their perceptions of workplace bullying. Results: The mean score of moral distress, burnout, and the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised Scale among the participants were 91.02 ± 35.26, 79.9 ± 18.27, and 45.4 ± 15.39, respectively. The results confirmed our hypothesized model. All the latent variables of study were significantly correlated in the predicted directions. The moral distress and bullying were significant predictors of burnout. Perception of bullying partially mediated the relationship between moral distress and burnout. The mediating role of the bullying suggests that moral distress increases burnout, directly and indirectly. Conclusion: Nursing administrators should be conscious of the role of moral distress and bullying in the nursing workplace in increasing burnout.

This study explored the relationship between clinicians’ moral distress and family satisfaction with care in five intensive care units in Italy. A total of 122 clinicians (45 physicians and 77 nurses) and 59 family members completed the Italian Moral Distress Scale-Revised and the Family Satisfaction in the ICU questionnaire, respectively. Clinicians’ moral distress inversely correlated with family satisfaction related to the inclusion in the decision-making process. Specifically, physicians’ moral distress inversely correlated with satisfaction regarding the respect shown toward the patient. Nurses’ moral distress inversely correlated with satisfaction regarding breathlessness and agitation management, provision of emotional support, understanding of information, and inclusion in the decision-making process.

Suffering repeated experiences of moral distress in intensive care units due to applications of futility reflects on nurses’ patient care negatively, increases their burnout, and reduces their job satisfaction. This study was carried out to investigate the levels of job satisfaction and exhaustion suffered by intensive care nurses and the relationship between them through the futility dimension of the issue. The study included 138 intensive care nurses. The data were obtained with the futility questionnaire developed by the researchers, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. It was determined that nurses who agreed to the proposition that the application of futility demoralizes health-care professionals had low levels of job satisfaction but high levels of depersonalization. It was determined that nurses had moderate levels of job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion, and personal achievements but high levels of sensitivity. Nurses’ job satisfaction and sensitivities are positively affected when they consider that futility does not contradict the purposes of medicine.

AbstractThis questionnaire-based observational study was conducted in July 2020 with the aim of understanding the ethical and social issues faced by health care providers (HCPs) registered with the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine in intensive care units (ICUs) during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. There were 200 questionnaire respondents, and we analyzed the responses of 189 members who had been involved in COVID-19 treatment in ICUs. The ethical and social issues that HCPs recognized during the pandemic were difficulties in the decision-making process with patients’ families, limitations of life-sustaining treatment, lack of palliative care, and inadequate mental support for patients’ families and HCPs. Regarding decision-making on issues of clinical ethics during the pandemic, more than half of the respondents thought they had failed to provide sufficient palliative care to patients and responded that they experienced moral distress. The free-text responses on moral distress revealed issues such as unusual treatment and care, restricted visits, challenging situations for HCPs, and psychological burden. Additionally, 38.1% of respondents experienced episodes of social prejudice or discrimination and 4.7% experienced a shortage of medical resources. Our study result shows that the moral distress of HCPs was caused by difficulties in patient-centered decision-making and insufficient medical care to patients and their families. These were caused mainly by a lack of communication due to the stronger implementation of infection control measures. We believe that it is important to address ethical and social issues during a pandemic in order to provide appropriate medical care and prevent burnout among HCPs.

Abstract: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is commonly found in the community but it is hard to detect in primary health care providers. Smoking and central obersity are the major risk factors in the development of PAD. One non-invasive and cheap method in screening for PAD is determining the ankle-brachial index (ABI). This study was aimed to provide an overview of the relationship between ABI and smoking and central obesity among students of Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design using the ABI results of the students. There were 73 students as subjects; 26 non-smokers with no central obesity (36%), 15 smokers (20%), 21 with central obesity (29%), and 11 smokers with central obesity (15%). The age range of subjects was 18-23 year olds (young adult age). The Fisher’s exact test analysis of the relationship between smoking and PAD obtained a p-value of 0.267 (p>=0.05) and of the relationship between central obesity and PAD obtained a p-value of 0.016 (p<=0.05). In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between central obesity and ABI, albeit there was no significant relationship between smoking and ABI.Keywords: peripheral artery disease, ankle-brachial index, smoking, central obesity. Abstrak: Penyakit arteri perifer (PAP) banyak ditemukan pada masyarakat tetapi sulit terdeteksi di layanan kesehatan primer.
