TY - JOUR T1 - Addressing caregiver moral distress during the COVID-19 pandemic JF - Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO - Cleve Clin J Med DO - 10.3949/ccjm.87a.ccc047 AU - Georgina Morley AU - Denise Sese AU - Prabalini Rajendram AU - Cristie Cole Horsburgh Y1 - 2020/06/09 UR - http://www.ccjm.org/content/early/2020/06/04/ccjm.87a.ccc047.abstract N2 - Moral distress is the psychological distress that is experienced in relation to a morally challenging situation or event. Although it was first observed within nursing, caregivers across all disciplines—including physicians, respiratory therapists, social workers and chaplains—experience moral distress. In this consult, we discuss 5 types of moral distress using examples of changes to clinical practice that have occurred due to COVID-19. We also provide suggestions for responding to moral distress and outline the resources available at Cleveland Clinic. ER -
